Abstract

A case of Mullerian duct dysgenesis with selective anterior hypopituitarism and bilharziasis affecting the fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina and rectum is reported. The patient presented with primary amenorrhoea and poorly formed secondary sex characteristics. Laparotomy confirmed the absence of a normal uterus and its replacement by a fibrous cord. The ovaries were small and hypoplastic and follicle growth was retarded. Low gonadotrophic hormone, oestrogen and progesterone levels were demonstrated.
