Abstract
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH) is a very rare congenital syndrome that affects the female reproductive system. It is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, characterized by an abnormal development of vagina and uterus. Due to this underdevelopment or absence of uterus, females express Uterus Factor Infertility. MRKH syndrome manifests clinically with endometriosis, amenorrhea and urinary tract infections. Occasionally the MRKH syndrome can be associated with other syndromes such as Turner, Vacterl, TAR and Silver Russell. In this particular presentation, we present a rare incident case in which the MRKH syndrome coexists with growth hormone deficiency and hypothyroidism. The coexistence of those 3 morbidities has not been reported so far in current literature.
