ummm... I think that may have been a case presentation and not the typical presentation.
A vagina is usually present in Turners.

I think the best answer is A.
IN testicular feminization there is only presence of lower third of vagina (blind vagina)
is there another name for mullerian agenesis?

testicular feminization,
MIF is produced which inhibits development of female internals,
absent androgen receptors, there is functional impairment of testosterone and dihydro tes, so no male externals development.

Signs may include:
vagina present but no cervix or uterus
normal female breast development
testes in the inguinal canal, labia, or abdomen
inguinal hernia with palpable gonad
Tests:
Testosterone levels -- in the male range
XY Karyotyping -- the presence of one X and one Y sex chromosome indicates male gender
Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels -- high
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels -- normal
Sonogram -- shows an absent uterus or intra-abdominal testes
Androgen receptor studies (research setting) may confirm the syndrome

Hi everybody,
I am a patient with Mullerian Agenegis also known as Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser Syndrome, surfing the internet and finding it fun placing a message. It is good to hear people are actually learning things about our birth defects these days! I wish you all good luck in your study's, and if you ever have a good medical article for me about this syndrome, I'd love to have it! For me as a patient it is however impossible to gather medical information!
