A unique case of descending salpingitis and functioning endometrium in a Müllerian remnant in a woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To describe a unique case of descending salpingitis and functioning endometrium in a noncavitated mullerian remnant in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Athens, Aretaieion Hospital, Athens, Greece. PATIENT(S):A 25-year-old patient with MRKH syndrome who presented with lower abdominal pain. INTERVENTION(S):Clinical examination, transabdominal ultrasonography, laparoscopy, laparotomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Clinical symptoms of salpingitis and hematometra; laparoscopic and laboratory confirmation. RESULT(S):Laparoscopy revealed an infection of the right salpinx, and surgical excision by laparotomy revealed a noncanalized mullerian remnant with functioning endometrium. CONCLUSION(S):Salpingitis can present in patients with MRKH syndrome. Probable presence of functioning endometrium must be taken under consideration.
