Abstract

Case report of a 39-year-old woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and sick sinus syndrome requiring a definitive pacemaker. As a young patient, without secondary causes of bradycardia, we suggest the possibility of a relationship between these two diseases, since there are reports of the association of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and structural heart diseases, and no reports of a relationship with bradycardia until now.
