8. Roleplay.
PMB.
Candidate’s Instructions.
You are an SpR in the “one-stop” PMB clinic. Mary
Smith, 55 years old, has been referred by her General Practitioner. She has had
some bleeding since the menopause.
Your task is to take an appropriate history and advise
her about the investigations you feel are appropriate and why.
9. Write
a ‘blurb’. General pre-pregnancy counselling.
Writing ‘blurbs’ is
an important activity for your study group. This is one of the most basic and
we can have a go at constructing a suitable version.
10. Role-play.
Sterilisation request.
Candidate’s instructions.
This is a roleplay station. Your tasks are to take a
history and discuss her request.

Re Anne Jones.
25 Checkmate Street,
Chesstown. CHS7 Y86.
Dear Doctor,
Please see Mrs Jones who wishes to be sterilised. Our
family planning specialist is on leave and I know little about modern
contraception, so have not offered any advice.
Regards,
Dr. O.U.T. de Touche.
11. EMQ.
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
Note. Some of
the questions are not true EMQs as there may be more than one correct answer –
this is me being lazy and saving typing.
Mayer–Rokitansky–K
¨
uster–Hauser
syndrome: diagnosis and management
With
regard to the MRKH syndrome,
61. there is failure of development of the
mesonephric ducts. T
F
62.
the phenotype and genotype are female. T F
63.
studies have established a link between the
syndrome and the use of diethylstilbestrol in
pregnancy.
T F
With
regard to the anatomical abnormalities seen in
MRKH
syndrome,
64.
symmetrical uterovaginal aplasia is found in
type I disorders. T
F
65.
renal abnormalities are seen in more than
half
of cases. T F
66.
skeletal abnormalities are reported in up to
one-fifth
of cases. T F
67. up to one-quarter of women have a
malformed
ear or auditory canal. T F
68.
the close proximity of the m
¨
ullerian
and
wolffian
duct derivatives to the metanephric
duct
in the developing embryo explains the
higher
association of malformations of the
kidneys
with this condition. T F
69.
vaginal agenesis is caused by failure of the
caudal
part of the m
¨
ullerian duct system to
develop. T
F
Regarding
the diagnosis of MRKH syndrome,
70.
magnetic resonance imaging is the gold
standard
tool. T F
71.
two-dimensional ultrasound scanning is not
useful
for associated renal tract
abnormalities.
T F
72.
complete androgen insensitivity syndrome is
an
important differential diagnosis. T F
73.
the presence of cyclical abdominal pain will
rule
out the diagnosis, as it indicates the
presence of functioning endometrium. T
F
With regard to the creation of a neovagina,
74.
it is recommended that treatment is initiated
as
soon as the diagnosis is made. T F
75. psychological support to women undergoing
this
procedure is of the utmost importance. T F
76.
vaginal dilators are acceptable as an option
for first-line therapy. T
F
77.
Ingram’s modified Frank’s technique involves
the
use of vaginal dilators. T F
With regard to the surgical creation of a
neovagina,
78. in the Davydov procedure the neovagina is
lined with peritoneum. T
F
With
regard to fertility in women with the MRKH
syndrome,
79. transvaginal egg retrieval is recognised to be
difficult
during in vitro fertilisation. T F
80. the condition has been shown to be
transmissible to the offspring. T
