[Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. A case report and a review of the medical literature on its treatment].
The Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome affects 1 out of 4500 women. It is characterized by the congenital absence of the upper third of the vagina, uterus and tubes; it is usually associated to renal malformations, and patients show normal phenotype and genotype. Age at diagnosis is between 15 and 18. A case is reported and a critical review of the information about the management alternatives of patients with MRKH syndrome available in medical literature is made. The paper is intended to help establish the best criteria and treatment options for a comprehensive therapeutic approach to MRKH patients.
