ABSTRACT
Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, also called utero-vaginal aplasia, was first described at the beginning of the 19th century by Mayer (1829). It affects 1.2 % of girls and consists of a complete absence of the vagina with severe developmental anomalies of the uterus. Most often it consists of rudimentary cornua uteri, a normal female karyotype 46 XX and secondary female sexual characteristics.
