Description
Genitalia can be defined as ambiguous when it is not possible to categorize the gender of the child based on outward appearances.
- Pitfalls: Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) may appear quite virilized at birth and be mistaken for boys. Nevertheless, they have good female reproductive potential with adequate control of their disease and should be assigned a female sex.
