Delayed presentation of Type I Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in a low-income setting: a case report
Our case exemplifies the delayed presentation of MRKH syndrome. The absence of menstruation being non-life-threatening is not perceived as a medical concern in low-income settings. Thus, no attention was paid by the family members to our patient's presenting complaints. Therefore, this case strongly reminds healthcare providers in similar settings to proactively investigate for primary amenorrhea, even in the absence of other complaints, to prevent such profound delays in presentation.
