Neoreviews. 2021 Apr;22(4):e241-e249. doi: 10.1542/neo.22-4-e241.

Abstract

Neonates with ambiguous genitalia have various clinical presentations, etiologies, and outcomes, ranging from benign to life-threatening. This review provides a summary of these findings. Some diagnoses may lead to delayed sex assignment. A systematic approach to the evaluation of disorders of sex development can allow for timely treatment and family counseling.
