Abstract

Some principles governing the diagnosis and the medical and surgical treatment of male and female pseudohermaphroditism are presented.

The urologist consulted concerning an individual who exhibits some form of abnormal sex differentiation faces the following problems: differential diagnosis between female pseudohermaphroditism with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and other types of hermaphroditism, selection of the sex of rearing in the absence of adrenal hyperplasia, psychologic management of patient and parents, application of surgical procedures, and use of sex hormones at puberty.
