Overview

Amenorrhea can be secondary to abnormalities in the development of the genital tract. Mayer-Rokitansky-Hauser syndrome is one such abnormality in the development of the genital tract which is characterized by an absent uterus and a foreshortened vagina. The ovaries function normally and produce estradiol (E2). As a consequence, the breasts and pubic hair are normal. Mayer-Rokitansky-Hauser syndrome is responsible for 15% of primary amenorrhea cases. Turner syndrome is the most common cause of primary amenorrhea.
