Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is described in females with a 46, XX karyotype and normal development of secondary sexual characteristics. The primary sexual characteristics are depicted by the congenital aplasia of the uterus and the upper two-thirds of the vagina. Based on the extent of malformations and association of extra-genital anomalies, it is categorized into type I and type II MRKH. The associated malformations seen include skeletal anomalies, renal anomalies, hearing defects, and, rarely, digital and cardiac anomalies. Herewith, we report a case of a two-year-old patient with urogenital anomalies on the left side diagnosed by imaging studies, which were suggestive of MRKH type II. For any child with urogenital anomalies with associated renal, skeletal, and hearing defects, we must suspect MRKH syndrome. The early detection of such anomalies will help in genetic counseling, management of fertility outcomes, and appropriate surgical management.
