Evaluation of radiographic abnormalities of the hand in patients with the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
Radiographs of the hand in a group of 40 patients with the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome were studied. Most of the patients had the following abnormalities: brachymesophalangy of digits 2-5 (22/39 patients), small distal phalanx of digit 1 (22/39 patients), long proximal phalanx of digits 3-4 (19/39 patients), and long metacarpals of digits 1-4 (20/39 patients). In addition, three patients had distinct radial dysplasia and abnormalities of the carpals.
