Disorders of sex development: management of gender assignment in a preterm infant with intrauterine growth restriction

Lucy D Mastrandrea et al. Case Rep Med. 2012.

Abstract

We describe how a gender specialist team managed the case of a disorder of sex development in a preterm infant where definitive diagnosis and gender assignment were delayed due to complications of prematurity, anemia, and severe intrauterine growth restriction.
