Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome Type II with Fused Kidneys in Pelvic Cavity: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) also known as Müllerian agenesis, is caused by embryologic underdevelopment of the Mullerian duct, with resultant agenesis or atresia of the vagina, uterus, or both. Patients usually present with primary amenorrhea with normal growth and pubertal development. Here we present a case of a 29-year-old woman presented with primary amenorrhea. Secondary sexual characteristics and hormone evaluation were normal. Ultrasound and MRI were conducted and revealed complete absence of uterus, small vaginal canal. Bilateral renal fossa were empty and both the kidneys were located in the pelvic cavity fused to one-another with single renal pelvis giving pancake appearance.

Experiences of Pelvic and Generalized Persistent Pain Syndromes in MRKH: A Scoping Review.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina, sometimes with associated extragenital anomalies. Currently, there is limited literature on pelvic pain and comorbid pain syndromes in people with MRKH. The aims of this scoping review were to summarize existing literature on pelvic and generalized persistent pain syndromes associated with MRKH and to identify knowledge gaps for further research into this field. METHODS: This scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute framework. The population of interest was patients with a diagnosis of MRKH. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, and Emcare databases were searched. Articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria or critical appraisal standards were excluded. The resultant articles were reviewed by 2 independent researchers, and a third was used in cases of disagreement. A descriptive analytical method was used for data analysis. RESULTS: We screened 3348 articles for eligibility. Of these, 39 articles, which described 1353 cases of MRKH, met the criteria. Four studies described baseline pelvic pain in MRKH, 19 described acute presentations, and 13 described postintervention pain levels. CONCLUSION: Despite the paucity of research, this review found that cyclic pelvic pain was mostly present in women with uterine remnants, whereas pelvic pain in those without remnants was poorly understood. There were no studies exploring generalized persistent pain syndromes in MRKH. Further cross-sectional studies are needed to elucidate the prevalence and levels of pain syndromes in MRKH.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome Presented with Diabetes Mellitus and Primary Amenorrhea: A Case Report.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects the female reproductive system and is characterized by an underdeveloped or absent uterus and vagina. A 17-year-old unmarried female was admitted into the Department of Endocrinology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh in November 2023 for evaluation of primary amenorrhea and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. She was the 5th issue of non-consanguineous marriage delivered at term by normal vaginal delivery. Her growth pattern and developmental milestones were normal. She had no history of galactorrhea, chronic or cyclic pelvic pain, thyroid dysfunction, excessive exercise, psychiatric illness, or drug abuse. There was no history of such type of illness in her family. She was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus two years back without classic symptoms, and at that time, her blood glucose was 22 mmol/L. She was prescribed metformin and gliclazide. She had no history of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemic crises, or hospital admission. On examination, her body build and nutritional status were normal. Anemia, jaundice, edema, dehydration, lymphadenopathy, acne, hirsutism, acanthosis nigricans, abdominal striae and vitiligo were absent. Her blood pressure was 110/70 without the postural drop, thyroid gland was not enlarged, anthropometric measurements were normal and BMI was 18.4 kg/m2. Her tanner stage was P5 & B4. Genital examination revealed normal female external genitalia, and a blind vaginal pouch was found. Other systemic examinations revealed no abnormality. On laboratory reports, her blood glucose was uncontrolled (HbA1c-10.2%) with glycosuria. Thyroid function test and gonadal hormones were normal. Ultrasonogram of the abdomen revealed uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina are absent, and an ectopic left kidney.

Diagnosis and management of non-CAH 46,XX disorders/differences in sex development.

Prenatal-onset androgen excess leads to abnormal sexual development in 46,XX individuals. This androgen excess can be caused endogenously by the adrenals or gonads or by exposure to exogenous androgens. The most common cause of 46,XX disorders/differences in sex development (DSD) is congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, comprising >90% of 46,XX DSD cases. Deficiencies of 11ß-hydroxylase, 3ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and P450-oxidoreductase (POR) are rare types of CAH, resulting in 46,XX DSD. In all CAH forms, patients have normal ovarian development. The molecular genetic causes of 46,XX DSD, besides CAH, are uncommon. These etiologies include primary glucocorticoid resistance (PGCR) and aromatase deficiency with normal ovarian development. Additionally, 46,XX gonads can differentiate into testes, causing 46,XX testicular (T) DSD or a coexistence of ovarian and testicular tissue, defined as 46,XX ovotesticular (OT)-DSD. PGCR is caused by inactivating variants in NR3C1, resulting in glucocorticoid insensitivity and the signs of mineralocorticoid and androgen excess. Pathogenic variants in the CYP19A1 gene lead to aromatase deficiency, causing androgen excess. Many genes are involved in the mechanisms of gonadal development, and genes associated with 46,XX T/OT-DSD include translocations of the SRY; copy number variants in NR2F2, NR0B1, SOX3, SOX9, SOX10, and FGF9, and sequence variants in NR5A1, NR2F2, RSPO1, SOX9, WNT2B, WNT4, and WT1. Progress in cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques has significantly improved our understanding of the etiology of non-CAH 46,XX DSD. Nonetheless, uncertainties about gonadal function and gender outcomes may make the management of these conditions challenging. This review explores the intricate landscape of diagnosing and managing these conditions, shedding light on the unique aspects that distinguish them from other types of DSD.

Classification and treatment of vaginal strictures at the donor-recipient anastomosis after uterus transplant.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence and management of vaginal stricture after uterus transplantation (UTx) in the US, to propose a grading system to classify stricture severity, and to identify risk factors for stricture formation. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: University Hospital. PATIENTS: Recipients undergoing UTx from 2016-2023 at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Cleveland Clinic, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham were monitored postoperatively with regular pelvic examinations. Stricture was defined as vaginal narrowing of <3 cm in patients with graft survival of at least 7 days. INTERVENTION: Demographic and surgery characteristics. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Stricture development and severity (grade 1 for diameter 2-<3 cm, grade 2 for 1-<2 cm, or grade 3 for <1 cm). RESULTS: Of the 45 UTx from 2016-2023 (16 deceased donors and 29 living donors), 3 were excluded from the analysis because of graft loss within 7 days. Of the 42 remaining recipients, 39 (92.9%) had Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and 3 (7.1%) had a prior hysterectomy. Twenty-eight (66.7%) UTx recipients developed postoperative vaginal strictures with a median time to stricture of 33 days (interquartile range 19-53 days). Most strictures were of moderate severity, with 4 (14.3%) strictures categorized as grade 1, 19 (67.9%) as grade 2, and 5 (17.9%) as grade 3. History of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and preoperative recipient vaginal length were significant risk factors for stricture, after adjustment for donor and recipient age and body mass index, anastomosis technique, total ischemia time, center, and year. Patients with longer preoperative vaginal length had a lower risk of stricture (hazard ratio 0.45, 0.29-0.70). The severity grading of the stricture was associated with the effectiveness of a nonoperative treatment approach (grade 1 vs. grade 3). No patients with grade 3 strictures improved with self-dilation alone; all required surgical repair and/or dilation under anesthesia. Conversely, for grade 1 or 2 strictures, self-dilation alone was successful in 47.8% (11/23), and no grade 1 strictures required surgical repair. CONCLUSIONS: Vaginal stricture is a common postoperative complication after UTx, affecting >65% of recipients. Short preoperative vaginal length and history of müllerian agenesis in the recipient are significant risk factors. Vaginal self-dilation was effective for some mild to moderate strictures, although dilation under anesthesia or surgical repair was required in most cases. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS: Dallas UtErus Transplant Study (DUETS) at Baylor University Medical Center (NCT02656550), Uterine transplantation for the treatment of uterine factor infertility at the Cleveland Clinic (NCT02573415), The University of Pennsylvania Uterus Transplant for Uterine Factor Infertility Trial (UNTIL) (NCT03307356).

Understanding the Diagnostic Odyssey of Women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome in Denmark: A Qualitative Interview Study.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is often a lengthy process that typically occurs during late adolescence. To support optimized and patient-centered care, this study aimed to investigate how women with MRKH syndrome experience the diagnostic process. METHODS: From January 2021 to March 2021, we conducted in-depth interviews with 18 Danish women (≥25 years) diagnosed with MRKH syndrome. The interviews lasted a median of 92 minutes (range: 67-117). Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: As teenagers or young women at the time, all women had experienced the diagnostic process in the nonspecialized healthcare sector as deeply upsetting due to distressing gynecological examinations, use of inappropriate language, and considerable diagnostic delay. When reaching the specialized health care sector, questions could finally be answered, but this information and support did not significantly alter their feelings of being "deviant" or "flawed". The women continued their diagnostic odyssey beyond the health care system and found online communities that gave them valuable support in living with MRKH syndrome. CONCLUSION: Women experience the diagnostic odyssey of MRKH syndrome as upsetting and potentially traumatizing beyond the diagnosis. Healthcare professionals can influence young women's understanding and experience of MRKH syndrome by using inclusive language (eg, avoiding "deformity") and addressing all that is normal and functioning (eg, external genitalia and potential for sexual pleasure). In nonurgent conditions, young women should be given the choice to delay a genital examination.

A rare variant of mullerian agenesis: a case report and review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Menstruation is a developmental milestone and usually marks healthy and normal pubertal changes in females. Menarche refers to the onset of first menstruation in a female. The causes of primary amenorrhea include outflow tract abnormalities, resistant endometrium, primary ovarian insufficiency, and disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, or other endocrine glands. A rare variant of mullerian agenesis, which warrants an individualized approach to management, is presented here. CASE REPORT: We present here the case of a 25-year-old Indian female with pain in the lower abdomen and primary amenorrhea. After a thorough history, clinical examination, imaging, and diagnostic laparoscopy, two small uteri, a blind upper half vagina, bilateral polycystic ovaries, and a blind transverse connection between the two uteri-a horseshoe band cervix-were detected, which confirmed the diagnosis of mullerian agenesis. There was evidence of adenomyosis in the mullerian duct element. This is a rare form of Müllerian abnormality with an unusual presentation. CONCLUSION: Mullerian agenesis is the most common cause of primary amenorrhea with well-developed secondary sexual characteristics. There are various forms of mullerian agenesis. Most of the cases are managed by a multidisciplinary team. Rare variants warrant an individualized approach to management.

A Case Report of Familial Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome as Part of the Phenotypic Spectrum of the 2q37 Deletion.

We performed a genetic investigation into the case of an inherited Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. Our patients were an adolescent and her mother, both with MRKH syndrome. The delivery of a biological offspring was achieved via a gestational carrier. Karyotype and exome sequencing were used to complete a three-generation genetic analysis of the family. Both the mother and her daughter harbored a deletion of 4 Mb at the locus of 2q37, a syndrome rarely described in association with MRKH. No pathogenic single-nucleotide variant relevant to the phenotype was found. The deletion was not inherited from either parent of the mother. In addition, some physical findings suggesting 2q37 deletion syndrome were found in our patients. We conclude that when combined with the use of a gestational carrier or uterine transplantation, the identification of a genetic cause for MRKH may enable the application of preimplantation genetic testing on embryos, thus potentially averting the transmission of the genetic anomaly to subsequent generations.

Müllerian Agenesis in a patient with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome: A Case Series and Review of the Overlapping Developmental Biologic Pathways.

BACKGROUND: Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a multi-system neurodevelopmental condition caused by deficiency of CREBBP (16p13.3) or EP300 (22q13.2). Müllerian agenesis, or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, is defined as congenital agenesis of the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina without a definite genetic cause. INDEX CASE AND CASE SERIES: We present a 14-year-old female with RSTS type 1 (CREBBP, c.4395-2A>C) and MRKH, the first documented in the literature. Following presentation to Gynecology for anticipatory guidance regarding future menstrual suppression and follow-up of previously diagnosed labial adhesions, exam under anesthesia revealed a single urogenital opening with cystoscopy demonstrating a normal urethra and bladder. Laboratory evaluation was consistent with peripubertal female gonadotropins and estradiol, 46,XX karyotype, and normal microarray, and a pelvic MRI confirmed Müllerian agenesis. Given this case, we assessed our cohort of females with RSTS and found that 4 of 12 individuals also had Müllerian anomalies. CONCLUSION: Gynecologic evaluation should be a part of medical care for females with RSTS, particularly in individuals with delayed menarche or abnormal menstrual history, on the basis of the observed association between RSTS and Müllerian anomalies in this case series. Although several candidate genes and copy number variants are associated with MRKH, no candidate genes in close proximity to the 16p13.3 region have been identified to explain both RSTS and MRKH in the index patient. Due to the regulatory nature of CREBBP during embryonic development, we theorize that CREBBP may play a role in the migration of Müllerian structures during embryogenesis.

A case report of laparoscopic surgery for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with preservation of functional primordial uterus.

BACKGROUND: In the past, the primary treatment for MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) with a functional primordial uterus was surgical removal of the functional primordial uterus. In rare instances, the endometrium of the functional primordial uterus is well developed, and surgical preservation of the functional primordial uterus provides the possibility of preserving reproductive function for these patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 14-year-old female was diagnosed with type I MRKH syndrome with a functional primordial uterus through physical examination and imaging investigations. We freed the functional primordial uterus through laparoscopic surgery and excised a portion of the lower myometrium to create an outlet at a lower uterine segment, which we then intermittently anastomosed to the tip of the artificial vagina. The patient recovered well after the surgery, and a re-examination showed no significant abnormalities. CONCLUSION: We were successful in preserving the functional primordial uterus using laparoscopic surgery in a patient with MRKH syndrome and connecting it to an artificial vagina through reconstructive surgery to ensure unobstructed menstrual drainage and preserve the reproductive potential of the patient.

Laparoscopic intervention for solid pelvic tumours in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: a case of bilateral uterine adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a condition caused by Müllerian anomalies, is characterised by congenital vaginal aplasia and a rudimentary uterus. Case reports concerning uterine fibroids associated with MRKH syndrome are limited, and differentiating between uterine fibroids and ovarian solid tumours prior to surgical intervention is often challenging. Here, we present the case of a patient with MRKH syndrome and asymptomatic bilateral pelvic solid tumours located close to both ovaries. Based on intraoperative and histopathological findings, the tumours were diagnosed as adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus. This is the first reported case of a uterine adenomyoma associated with MRKH syndrome. Moreover, our report highlights the fact that diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable method to evaluate pelvic tumours in MRKH syndrome.

International Experiences with Vaginal Lengthening Treatment Among Individuals with Müllerian Agenesis: A Mixed-Methods Study.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To understand variations and experiences of vaginal lengthening internationally in individuals with congenital underdevelopment of the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina or Müllerian agenesis METHODS: In this study, we used a cross-sectional mixed-methods design incorporating quantitative and qualitative questionnaires. Adults with Müllerian agenesis completed questionnaires with quantitative and open-ended qualitative questions about their vaginal lengthening experiences. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS: Of 616 respondents meeting inclusion criteria (representing 40 countries), 46% (n = 284) reported no vaginal lengthening intervention. Vaginal lengthening was commonly reported by participants from North America and Europe (59%) and less commonly by participants from Africa, Asia, and South America (16%). Of those who had undergone vaginal lengthening, 72% reported dilator use, 34% coital dilation, and 39% surgery. Four major themes were identified in response to the open-ended vaginal lengthening experience question: (1) difficult physical symptoms, (2) practical and psychosocial challenges, (3) intimate relationships and sexual satisfaction, and (4) impact of experiences with healthcare providers. CONCLUSION: This study highlights vaginal lengthening practices internationally and shared themes related to significant challenges and positive experiences. The findings show room for improvement in the counseling and care surrounding vaginal lengthening. Future research should investigate factors that influence decision-making about vaginal lengthening and work toward international consensus on best care practices in Müllerian agenesis.

Sexual health and sexual well-being of women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuester-Hauser syndrome after vaginal reconstruction: a qualitative analysis.

BACKGROUND: Contradictory findings on sexual health in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuester-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) after vaginal reconstruction point toward the need for more profound assessment of this subject, particularly as it is still unclear what constitutes sexual well-being, especially genital self-image or sexual self-esteem, in women with MRKHS and neovagina. AIM: The aim of this qualitative study was to assess individual sexual health and sexual well-being in the context of MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction, with an emphasis on genital self-image, sexual self-esteem, sexual satisfaction, and coping with MRKHS. METHODS: Qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted with women with MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction (n = 10) with the Wharton-Sheares-George surgical method and a matched control group without MRKHS (n = 20). Women were surveyed about their previous and current sexual activities, perception of and attitudes toward their genitals, disclosure to others, coping with the diagnosis, and perception of surgery. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis and compared with the control group. OUTCOMES: The primary outcomes of the study were major categories, such as sexual satisfaction, sexual self-esteem, genital self-image, and dealing with MRKHS, as well as subcategories related to the content analysis. RESULTS: Although half the women in the present study indicated that they were coping well with their condition and were satisfied with sexual intercourse, most felt insecure about their neovagina, were cognitively distracted during intercourse, and showed low levels of sexual self-esteem. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: A better understanding of expectations and uncertainties regarding the neovagina might help professionals to support women with MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction to increase sexual well-being. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS: This is the first qualitative study focusing on individual aspects of sexual well-being, especially sexual self-esteem and genital self-image, in women with MRKHS and neovagina. The qualitative study indicates good interrater reliability and data saturation. The limitations of this study include the inherent lack of objectivity resulting from the method but also the fact that all the patients had a particular surgical technique, consequently resulting in limited generalizability of these findings. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that integrating the neovagina into the genital self-image is a prolonged process that is essential for sexual well-being and should thus be the focus of sexual counseling.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome in a young female: diagnosis and treatment: a case report.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome is a rare condition in which Müllerian system does not develop and ends up with rudimentary upper vagina and the uterus. As compared to normal physiology of the ovaries and puberty, the patients present with primary amenorrhoea a key clinical symptom. However, the exact aetiology of the disease is still unknown. A few reports considered environmental and epigenetic changes, hormonal imbalance, and cellular receptor abnormalities as possible risk factors associated with the disease. This case was reported at the Department of Family Medicine, The Indus Hospital, Karachi. A 24-year-old woman, married for eight months, presented with primary amenorrhoea and painful intercourse. Upon detailed clinical evaluation and relevant radiological and diagnostic investigation, an assessment, of Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome was made.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome with Situs Inversus Totalis: A Rare Case Report.

BACKGROUND Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a complex disorder of the female reproductive system that results in an absent uterus and vagina. MRKH syndrome can be an isolated anomaly (typical) or accompanied by other organ anomalies (atypical). Due to the similarity of symptoms with other congenital gynecological diseases, imaging modalities remain the most important tools in establishing the diagnosis by visualizing internal genital and detecting possible organ malformations. CASE REPORT We present a very rare case of a female with primary amenorrhea. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the absence of a uterus and vagina with possible Mullerian remnants, as well as an incidental finding of a right ectopic kidney. Abdominal ultrasonography and chest X-ray showed that the patient also had situs inversus totalis. CONCLUSIONS MRKH syndrome may be associated with situs inversus totalis due to possible early embryologic malformations causing both conditions; however, the exact mechanism is still unknown. This report should serve as a more recent attempt to question whether situs inversus totalis is related to MRKH and to emphasize the importance of imaging modalities, especially MRI, in establishing the diagnosis of MRKH syndrome and the associated malformations.

Hymenal Anomalies Interfering with Dilation in Women with Mullerian Agenesis: A Case Series.

BACKGROUND: Women with Mullerian agenesis, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), have aplasia or hypoplasia of the uterus and vagina. Regular use of dilators can successfully create a functional vagina in up to 95% of cases. We present 3 women with Mullerian agenesis who failed dilation therapy due to pain and were subsequently found to have hymenal anomalies. CASES: Patients presented at age 16 or 17 to initiate dilation. Initial attempts were discontinued due to pain. On examination, a septate hymen was identified in 2 patients and a microperforate hymen in 1 patient. All patients underwent hymenectomy and thereafter continued dilation with less discomfort. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: These cases illustrate the importance of recognizing and treating hymenal anomalies in women with Mullerian agenesis to prevent pain, leading to unsuccessful dilation.

How does the experience of the medical encounter with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome impact women in Africa?

Introduction: the MRKH syndrome is a rare congenital malformation in women. As most rare conditions, this syndrome usually causes confusion in patients and even in physicians. The medical encounter of young girls with the syndrome is intertwined in a complex matrix of social, economic and cultural factors that only contribute in creating more confusion in the young girl. Methods: the study is qualitative and designed to describe the first encounter of women with the MRKH syndrome at the physician. To that effect, an interview guide was designed for in-depth interviews with 05 MRKH women from varied African countries (Cameroon, Côte-d'Ivoire, and Senegal) selected using the snowball technique. Results: findings from this study revealed that most women go to the hospital and return more confused as no clear information is given to them on their condition. Also, cultural, social and religious beliefs on the one hand seems to blur the physician's judgment to provide appropriate remedies like instrumental dilatation for rudimentary vagina, surrogacy for uterine infertility factor, adoption, etc. and on the other hand, these beliefs also act as a barrier for these young girls who are not strangers to the culture. Conclusion: the study suggests that, physicians give to the patients all necessary information for them to take elective decisions on their health. It also suggests that awareness should be raised on this condition.

Update on Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

This review presents an update of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome on its etiologic, clinical, diagnostic, psychological, therapeutic, and reproductive aspects. The etiology of MRKH syndrome remains unclear due to its intrinsic heterogeneity. Nongenetic and genetic causes that may interact during the embryonic development have been proposed with no definitive etiopathogenesis identified. The proportion of concomitant extragenital malformations varies in different studies, and the discrepancies may be explained by ethnic differences. In addition to physical examination and pelvic ultrasound, the performance of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging is crucial in detecting the presence of rudimentary uterine endometrium. MRKH syndrome has long-lasting psychological effects on patients, resulting in low esteem, poor coping strategies, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Providing psychological counseling and peer support to diagnosed patients is recommended. Proper and timely psychological intervention could significantly improve a patient's outcome. Various nonsurgical and surgical methods have been suggested for treatment of MRKH syndrome. Due to the high success rate and minimal risk of complications, vaginal dilation has been proven to be the first-line therapy. Vaginoplasty is the second-line option for patients experiencing dilation failure. Uterine transplantation and gestational surrogacy are options for women with MRKH syndrome to achieve biological motherhood.
