摘要
Key content Congenital anomalies of the genital tract are uncommon. Embryological knowledge is essential in diagnosis and management. Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is best managed in tertiary centres by a multidisciplinary team. The more complex the obstructive disorder, the more specialist care is required. Ultrasound imaging is usually all that is required. Learning objectives To understand the relationship between embryology and congenital abnormalities. To gain ability to recognise those problems that need specialist care. To understand the need for a holistic approach to care in MRKH syndrome. Ethical issues Is failure to provide a multidisciplinary holistic approach acceptable medical care?
