dc.description.abstractThe Mayer- Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome has been known to be associated with psychological abnormalities. However, hardly any case has been reported of suicide by an individual suffering from such syndrome, as per the author‘s knowledge. A 19 year old female was brought to Safdarjung hospital mortuary for post mortem examination. After eliciting a detailed history from the relatives of the deceased, going through the previous investigation reports and after post mortem examination it was confirmed that the deceased was suffering from MRKH syndrome. The mental stress associated with the diseased state resulted in the female committing suicide by ingesting some unknown substance. Emotional support forms the basis of treatment in such cases. Surgical treatment is also employed in some cases so as to help them lead normal sexual life. This paper deals with the pathology and psychological profile of the patient suffering from this syndrome and the therapeutic options that may be considered to ameliorate the stress associated with the disease.en_US
