MRKH: A Correlation of MRI findings of Uterine Anlage and Cyclical Abdominal Pain

MRKH patients may report cyclical abdominal pain, which has most frequently been attributed to ovulation pain, on the presumption that there is no functional uterine tissue present. MRI is increasingly used as an investigative imaging modality and has become standard practice, and detail of the uterine anlage can now be defined. Our hypothesis is that the cyclical abdominal pain may more often be due to functional anlage than had previously been believed.
