Thyroid dysfunction in Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser syndrome: A case report and brief review of literature

ABSTRACT Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a congenital disorder characterized by aplasia of the uterus and the upper part of the vagina in a phenotypic woman with a 46, XX karyotype and normal development of secondary sexual characteristics. Individuals with this syndrome may also present with renal and skeletal abnormalities. It affects 1/4500 women, and primary amenorrhea is the first sign in young women. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman with MRKHS along with autoimmune clinical hypothyroidism. This provides us with an opportunity to discuss other forms of thyroid diseases reported in MRKHS.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a congenital disorder characterized by aplasia of the uterus and the upper part of the vagina in a phenotypic woman with a 46, XX karyotype and normal development of secondary sexual characteristics. Individuals with this syndrome may also present with renal and skeletal abnormalities. It affects 1/4500 women, and primary amenorrhea is the first sign in young women. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman with MRKHS along with autoimmune clinical hypothyroidism. This provides us with an opportunity to discuss other forms of thyroid diseases reported in MRKHS.
