The newborn with ambiguous genitalia

B C McGillivray. Semin Perinatol. 1992 Dec.

Abstract

The unexpectedness of genital ambiguity in an infant creates an urgent and stressful situation. A logical approach, using a team of specialists together with nursery staff and physicians, allows each member to contribute expertise and unnecessary overlap of investigations. The psychological needs of the parents should be recognized, because their relation with the infant will determine the success of the assigned gender role in the future.
