Mullerian Anomalies: A Cause of Primary Amenorrhoea

MURCS (Müllerian duct aplasia–renal agenesis–cervicothoracic somite dysplasia): a rare cause of primary amenorrhoea

The agenesis of the Müllerian duct is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhoea after Turner syndrome. The abnormal development of Müllerian duct often associates with the urinary tract and skeletal abnormalities. MURCS (Müllerian duct aplasia-renal agenesis-cervicothoracic somite dysplasia) association is a unique and rare developmental disorder with four common features of uterine h...

Developmental defect of Mullerian duct is a congenital malformation characterized by anomalies in famale upper genital organs. As the anomaly is associated with obstruction of the duct, other congenital anomalies of urinary tract specially ipsilateral ranal agenesis are common. This anomaly is often discovered in adolescent period and is usually asymptomatic until puberty. To discover this anom...

Primary amenorrhoea: the ambiguous non-entity.

Hypothalamic-pituitary activity was investigated in 20 women with primary amenorrhoea, in whom gonadal dysgenesis and lower Müllerian duct anomalies had been excluded. There was no specific or uniform pattern of response to luteinising hormone-releasing hormone and no evidence of a common defect at pituitary-hypothalamic level to account for the absence of spontaneous menstruation. Six women ha...

I-42: MRI Evaluation of Congenital Uterine Anomalies

Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often treatable cause of infertility. Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first-trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically co...
