Abstract
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects the female reproductive system, resulting in uterovaginal agenesis. It’s typically presented as primary amenorrhoea in adolescence in female with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and 46, XX karyotype. In this article, we report an unusual case of MRKHS of a girl of 7 years old who consulted for premature thelarche & pubarche. She has a normal karyotype (46, XX) with normal external genetalia. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test revealed a peak LH level of 1.77 UI/l and peak FSH level of 5.44 UI/l. Imaging disclosed advanced bone age at 10 years. Pelvic MRI showed uterine hypoplasia with partial vaginal agenesis.
