Int J Womens Health. 2015 Nov 2:7:865-70. doi: 10.2147/IJWH.S75637. eCollection 2015.

Abstract

The congenital aplasia or severe hypoplasia of mullerian structures is infrequent. However, the features of normal female endocrine function paired with the absence of a functional uterus and vagina makes it a fascinating entity. The diagnosis and work-up in these patients has become very efficient, thanks to the use of imaging, and there are multiple successful procedures for the creation of a neovagina. In recent years, infertility treatment options through in vitro fertilization have also become available as part of the long-term care of these patients.

Keywords: MRKH; mullerian agenesis; neovagina; vaginal agenesis.
