There is treatment based on dilatations and creation of neovagina by surgery. Prolapse of the vaginal vault in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is rare and may occur after conservative or surgical treatments. The lack of vaginal support structures can lead these patients to develop a vaginal vault prolapse
