Introduction:

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (also known as müllerian aplasia) is a rare congenital anomaly of the tract genital, of unknown etiology, characterized by the congenital absence of the uterus, cervix and upper portion of the vagina.

Clinical case:

A 16-year-old female patient with primary amenorrhea, normal hormonal profile, adequate sexual development Tanner 5, 46 XX karyotype. A magnetic sound is performed where the absence of the uterus and the proximal two-thirds of the vagina are detected.

Conclusion:

Magnetic resonance is a diagnostic test that provides great anatomical detail of the uterus and vagina, allowing to correctly characterize and classify Müllerian anomalies.

Keywords : Rokitansky syndrome; magnetic resonance imaging; uterine malformations; müllerian malformations.
