The Child with Ambiguous Genitalia

  • Chapter
Pediatric and Adolescent Obstetrics and Gynecology

Part of the book series: Clinical Perspective in Obstetrics and Gynecology ((CPOG))

  • 123 Accesses

Abstract

Genital ambiguity in the newborn is a true medical emergency. Life-threatening crises may occur if a correct diagnosis is not made. The emotional well-being of the family and the long-term psychosocial development of the infant are at stake. The medical, psychologic, and social implications surrounding the delivery of the infant with genital ambiguity make expert advice imperative for the ongoing care of the child and family.
