Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a malformation in female genital tract due to interrupted embryonic development of para-mesonephric (Müller) ducts leading to uterine and proximal vagina aplasia or hypoplasia. Magnetic resonance is the most comprehensive noninvasive imaging modality of choice to detail anatomical evaluation. We can depict rudimentary uterine buds associated with MRKH syndrome always maintained caudal relationship with ovary, uterine aplasia and vaginal hypoplasia. Ovaries or rudimentary uterine buds can be ectopic. Clinically this syndrome is manifested by primary amenorrhea, dyspareunia or inability to have intercourse due to vaginal hypoplasia.

Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, Müllerian anomalies, primary amenorrhea, uterine aplasia
