Objective:
To describe the association of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome and thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome.
Design:
Descriptive case report.
Setting:
Tertiary university-affiliated care and referral facility.
Patient(S):
A 22-year-old woman with TAR syndrome referred to our department with primary amenorrhea.
Intervention(S):
Patient history, physical and laboratory examination, diagnostic laparoscopy, and karyotyping.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Physical features in the combination of syndromes presented.
Result(S):
Laparoscopy revealed absent uterus and complete vaginal agenesis.
Conclusion(S):
This extremely rare case might provide further evidence of a link between the development of the skeletal system and the genitourinary tract.
