Abstract

Mullarian agenesis is a congenital malformation in female characterized by a failure of mullarian ducts to develop, resulting in missing uterus and fallopian tubes. Autopsy on the body of an adolescent female who committed suicide by hanging revealed that uterus and fallopian tubes were absent. On further enquiry into the menstrual history, it was evidenced that she has not attained menarche till the age of 17 years.
