Abstract:
The possible etiologies for primary amenorrhea are classified into four groups based on the presence or absence of the uterus and the development of the breasts. Based on this, gonadalc dysgenesis and mullerian agenesis in a patient with no Y chromosome are two separate causes of primary amenorrhea. These two conditons seen together is a very uncommon occurence. Presented here is such a case where the diagnosis Turner Syndrome and the Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome coexist in apatient with a 45, X [6]/46, X, i(X) (q10)[9] karyotype.
