Primary amenorrhea

Patient Data

Age: 25 years
Gender: Female

The uterus is not visualized as well as the fallopian tubes with no distinct vagina. Both ovaries are well-visualized, containing several follicles.

The left lumbar fossa is occupied by the spleen and the left kidney is in an ectopic position in the left pelvic region.

A multiloculated cystic mass is seen in the retrorectal space, suggestive of a tailgut cyst.

No sacrococcygeal abnormalities are seen.

Case Discussion

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome belongs to class I Mullerian duct anomalies 

Associated renal anomalies may be seen up to 30-40% of cases, but tailgut cyst is rarely associated with uterine anomalies.
