Abstract

Inguinal ovarian herniation is an uncommon finding in adult women and may be associated with congenital Müllerian anomalies such as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman presenting with primary amenorrhea. Clinical examination revealed a short blind-ending vagina. Pelvic MRI demonstrated complete uterovaginal agenesis associated with a solitary right kidney and a left inguinal hernia containing a hypoplastic ovary. These findings were consistent with MRKH syndrome type B. This case emphasizes the diagnostic value of MRI in detecting ectopic ovarian localization and associated congenital anomalies in patients with primary amenorrhea.
