Atypical Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser Syndrome with Bilateral Inguinal Hernia of Adnexa—Laparoscopic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair with Ovarian Plication
Atypical Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser syndrome is a müllerian agenesis associated with malformations of kidneys or ovaries, including müllerian aplasia, renal aplasia, and cervicothoracic somite dysplasia [1]. Incidence of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with genital inguinal hernia is rare and under-reported [2 ,3]. Nonfusion of müllerian ducts in embryonic life leads to hypermobility of ovary and ligaments predisposing to inguinal hernia [3]. Hernia repair and ovarian plication may be considered because it prevents ovarian torsion and infarction and preserves ovarian function [4]. (Source: The Journal of ...

Atypical MRKHS with bilateral inguinal hernia of adnexa - Laparoscopic TAPP repair with ovarian plication
Atypical Mullerian Rokitansky Kuster Hauser Syndrome (MRKHS) is mullerian agenesis associated with malformations of kidneys or ovaries, including MURCS (mullerian aplasia, renal aplasia, and cervicothoracic somite dysplasia) [1]. Incidence of MRKHS with genital inguinal hernia is rare and under-reported [2,3]. Non-fusion of Mullerian ducts in embryonic life leads to hypermobility of ovary and ligaments predisposing to inguinal hernia [3]. Hernia repair and ovarian plication may be considered as it prevents ovarian torsion, infarction and preserves ovarian function [4]. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Infrarenal Transposition of the Superior Mesenteric Artery in Wilkie ’s Syndrome
Objective: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), also known as Wilkie ’s syndrome, mesenteric duodenal compression syndrome, or cast syndrome, is a rare entity defined as a compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and abdominal aorta, due to narrowing of the space between them. This syndrome was first described by the A ustrian professor Carl Freiherr von Rokitansky in 1861 as an autopsy finding. SMAS is primarily attributed to loss of the intervening mesenteric fat pad, leading to partial or complete duodenal obstruction. (Source: EJVES Extra)

1. Surgical Correction of Vaginal Agenesis via  Vecchietti Procedure
A 18-year old female presented to pediatric gynecology clinic with primary amenorrhea. She had age appropriate secondary sex characteristics (breast and pubic hair Tanner 5) and a shallow 1.5 cm vagina. Work up included Estradiol 94 pg/ml, TSH 1.34 uIU/ml, Prolactin 7.2 ng/ml, FSH 4.9 mIU/ml and LH 18.4 mIU/ml and 46 XX karyotype. Pelvic ultrasound showed rudimentary uterine horns and normal ovaries. Patient had normal kidneys and spine. Diagnosis of MRKH syndrome was made. She attempted vaginal dilation for nine months which was not successful. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

35. A Patient with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome Found to Have M üllerian Agenesis: A Previously Unreported Presentation
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a genetic condition caused by either a mutation in the CREBBP (type 1) or EP300 (type 2) gene and is characterized by short stature, failure to thrive, gastrointestinal motility issues, characteristic facial features, intellectual disability, and variable malformations including septate uterus. M üllerian agenesis, or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), is defined as congenital aplasia of the uterus and upper vagina. Though there are several candidate genes that are associated with MRKH, a single causal genetic mutation is rarely identified. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and...

91. Understanding Psychological Adjustment in Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Qualitative and Quantitative Studies
Mayer-Rokitansky-K üster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH) is characterised by complete or partial absence of the uterus, cervix and vagina in otherwise typically developed females. Psychological and sexual distress are common in MRKH, yet evidence based psychological support is lacking in clinical practice. To understand facto rs associated with distress and inform intervention development, this review aimed to evaluate evidence of associations between psychological and sexual adjustment outcomes and clinical, demographic and potentially modifiable psychosocial factors in MRKH.

A female infant with rectovestibular fistula and imperforate hymen
Kiran Khedkar, Yashwant R Lamture, Sham Lohia, Harshal Atul TayadeJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(2):177-178 In a female neonate with anorectal malformation (ARM), the diagnosis is usually simple. But when there are two openings in the introitus and absent anal opening at the normal site, the scenario poses a diagnostic challenge. Careful and detailed evaluation of anomaly is therefore necessary before planning definitive correction. Imperforate hymen, although is not commonly associated with ARM should always be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis and other vaginal anomalies like Mayer&#x...
