The Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by congenital hypoplasia or aplasia of the uterus and vaginal agenesis. A 53-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with torsion of the right rudimentary uterine horn with multiple leiomyomas with MRKH syndrome. The twisted rudimentary uterine horn and multiple leiomyomas were successfully removed via laparoscopy. MRKH syndrome with uterine horn torsion is uncommon and ours is the first case of torsion in MRKH syndrome treated via a laparoscopic approach. Our report indicates that laparoscopy is ideal for the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of pelvic masses in MRKH syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
