Inguinal hernias may have very unusual sac content. The Fallopian tube and ovary are found in 15% to 20% of the sliding hernias in females. Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, is one of the associated genital anomalies with an incidence of 1:4500 female births. We report a rare case of sliding inguinal herniation of ovary with torsion & fallopian tube in a 20 year old woman with MRKH syndrome type I. Preservation of ovarian function by repositioning the gonad followed by herniorrhaphy was done.
