Approach to a Child with
Ambiguous Genitalia
Student Name – Siddharth Mahajan
Guide - Dr. Nilofer Mujawar
Ambiguous Genitalia
• Definition: Any case in which the external
genitalia do not appear either completely
male or completely female.
• Incidence:
– Full range of Disorders of Sex Development(DSD) –
1:1500 births
– With significant genital ambiguity – 1:5000 births
When to suspect???
• A penis and bilaterally non-palpable testes.
• Unilateral cryptorchidism with hypospadias.
• Peno-scrotal or perineo-scrotal hypospadias, with
or without micro-phallus, even if the testes are
descended.
• Apparently female appearance with enlarged
clitoris or inguinal hernia.
• Overtly abnormal genital development such as
cloacal exstrophy.
• Asymmetry of labioscrotal folds, with or without
cryptorchidism.
• Discordance of external genitalia with prenatal
karyotype.
Normal External Genitalia in a MALE Child
• Stretched Penile length
> 2.5 cm
• External urethral opening
at the tip of the penis
• Scrotum is relatively larger
& having darker skin
• Both testes in scrotum
Normal External Genitalia in a FEMALE Child
• Labia minora & clitoris
are completely covered
by Labia majora.
• Skin of the labia majora
is darker.
• Mucuoid, non-purulent
discharge may be
observed from vagina.
• Occasionally mild
withdrawal bleeding from
vagina due to maternal
hormones
Terminologies:
1. Genetic / Chromosomal sex
2. Gonadal sex
3. Phenotypic / Anatomic sex
4. Gender identity
5. Gender role
6. Sexual orientation
1) Genetic sex
• Determined by chromosomal complement of
the zygote.
• Presence or absence of specific genes
necessary for normal sexual development.
• In male SOX9 , SF1 ,WT1
• In Female WNT4, DAX1
2) Gonadal sex
• Undifferentiated gonads develop in the bilateral
genital ridges around 6 weeks of gestation and begins
to differentiate by 7 weeks.
• SRY (Sex determining Region on Y chromosome) which
encode the primary testis determining factor on the
short arm of Y chomosome causes undifferentiated
gonads to develop into testis.
• In absence of SRY & Testis determining factor - normal
female pathway continue- which is by default.
3)Phenotypic sex
• Refers to the external appearance of the
genitalia.
4) Gender Identity
• Person’s self identification as male or female
• One’s internal sense of gender
5) Gender Role
• Expression of characteristics that are sexually
dimorphic within a general population
(clothing/ toys preferences, physical
aggression, grooming behavior, etc.)
• One’s gender related behavior and interests in
society.
6) Sexual orientation
• Choice of sexual partner and erotic interest (
heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual )
Normal Sexual Development
2 phases -
1. “Sex Determination” – the development of
the undifferentiated gonad into testis or
ovary.
2. “Sexual Differentiation” – the phenotypic sex
develops through the action of gonadal and
other hormones.
Important enzymes and hormones:
• hCG - LH  Testosterone (in testes)
• 5α-reductase - Testosterone 
Dyhydrotestosterone
• Aromatase - testosterone  estrogen
Normal sexual differentiation: bipotential embryonic
tissues
External genitalia in male and female
Any variation or interruption in this
normal process of sexual development,
may affect development of
Gonads, Internal Duct system &/or External
Genitalia.
Disorder of sexual development (DSD)
• Disorder of sexual development (DSD)
condition in which development of
Chromosomal ,
Gonadal or Anatomical sex is atypical.
Red flags for possible DSD in apparent
male or female infants!!!
• Apparent “Male Infant”
– Bilateral undescended testes
– Bifid scrotum
– Hypospadias with one other abnormal finding
(undescended testis/micropenis)
• Apparent “Female Infant”
– Clitoromegaly
– Single genitourinary opening
– Inguinal hernia

phenotype)
Relevant History in a child with
Ambiguous Genitalia
• Most cases either isolated occurrences or inherited as
AR or X linked trait.
• Family history of unexplained neonatal deaths (CAH).
• Family history of hypospadias, cryptoorchidism,
amenorrhea.
• History of infertility in close relatives.
• Maternal drug exposure during pregnancy -
androgens, progestin, phenytoin.
• Placental insufficiency ( HCG initiates synthesis of
testosterone in fetal testes).
Clinical Examination in Ambiguous
Genitalia
• Local examination:
1. External genitalia : Present/absent
2. If present: male/ female component
3. Male component:
- Phallus: size, measure
Stretched penile length(normal > 2.5cm)
- Scrotum: skin, pigmentation, bifid
-F/o virilization: pubic hair
- hypospadias, epispadiasis, identify urethral opening
- palpate testis : volume, inguinal region( NP)
• Anogenital ratio-
• Distance between the anus and the posterior
forchette divided by the distance between
anus and the base of the clitoris.
• Ratio > 0.5 cm is indicative of 1 st trimester
androgen exposure
• Posterior fusion of the labioscrotal folds
increse anogenital ratio.
Clinical Examination in Ambiguous
Genitalia
4. Female component:
- labia majora / minora
- Urethral opening
- vaginal opening
- Identify clitoris : measure(N < 1cm)
- S/o virilization/ masculinization
- Posterior labial fusion
- Palpate inguinal region and labia majora for
gonads
- Per rectal examination – uterus
Clinical Examination in Ambiguous
Genitalia
5. Relevant general and systemic examination
- height
- weight
- dysmorphic features
- f/o Turner syndrome
- breasts
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
1) Karyotyping: results available in 72 hours by FISH
(fluoroscent in situ hybridisation) technique
Buccal smear highly unreliable for karyotype but
applicable for FISH
2) Serum 17- Hydroxyprogesterone level - increased
in 21 hydroxylase deficiency
- normal level 100-200 ng/ dl
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
3) ACTH Stimulation test:
- Done to confirm diagnosis of CAH in case 17
hydroxyprogesterone level is boderline or non diagnostic
range
- 35 mcg/kg (max 0.25 mg) synthetic ACTH I.V
- collect venous sample and assess 17 hydroxyprogesterone
level
-Will be increased 4-5 times over baseline in CAH
45-60 min
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
4) HCG Stimulation test
1000 U/m2 hCG IM OD X 3 days
24 hours after last test
Measure serum testosterone and DHT levels
Testosterone <100 ng /dl
- Deficiency of various
enzyme of steroid
biosynthesis
- Leydig cell hypoplasia
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
5) Testosterone Trial test: Leydig cell hypoplasia
25-50 mg testosterone IM every monthly for 3months X 3 doses
Increase in phallic length atleast 1.5 cm ( 0.5 cm/mon)
positive response
6) Baseline levels of –
• Pregnenolone
• Progesterone
• 17 Hydroxypregnenolone
• 17 Hydroxyprogesterone
• Dehydroepiandrosterone ( DHEA)
• Androstenedione
• Testosterone
• Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
• Cortisone
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
7) Gonadal Biopsy
Done > 18 months of age and > 9 kg weight
Diagnosis of : a) Ovotesticular DSD
b) Gonadal dysgenesis with Y chromosomes
c) Dysgenetic testis
d) XX male
e) Leydig cell hypoplasia
f) Persistent mullerian duct syndrome
8) Genital skin biopsy and study of cultured fibroblast
- Androgen receptor resistance
- 5 alpha reductase levels
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
9) USG/ MRI
- MRI is found to be marginally more sensitive than
USG, for evaluation of gonads.
- For internal genital structures, both modalities
were found to be equally sensitive and specific
with no false positive results.
- USG still remains the modality of choice for
screening patients with DSD
- MRI is helpful in cases with equivocal USG
findings.
.
• 10) Genetic testing:
– Particularly in CAH and complete androgen
insensitivity.
– Techniques like whole genome and exome
sequencing
– helpful in reaching a diagnosis for in infants with
46XY DSD, because a definitive diagnosis is
currently not found in many.
TREATMENT :
• Requires a team of doctors involving
a number of specialities –
• Pediatrician,
• pediatric endocrinology,
• urology,
• plastic surgery,
• medical genetics and
• psychology
• Treatment options include :
• RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
• HORMONE THERAPY
RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY :
• Goal is cosmetic, to make a boy’s or a girl’s
genitalia
look natural and also in hopes of restoring sexual
function
• May need repeat surgeries later in life
• Certain types of surgery are most successful
when
carried out soon after birth, while others may be
delayed till further child developement
• FOR BOYS : surgery is complicated but often
successful. It includes :
– Lengthening of the incomplete penis
– an undescended testis that is to be retained is
best brought down into the scrotum at the time of
initial gonadal biopsy
– Correction of chordee and urethroplasty in boys
with hypospadias is usually performed between 6
and 18 months of age
• FOR GIRLS : sexual function of organs is often
not compromised despite any ambiguous
appearance. Depending on severity, options
are :
– Uncovering vagina hidden under skin
– Removing excess masculine tissue around the
clitoris(clitoral reduction) – done once hormone
replacement therapy has begun
– Testis should be removed soon after birth if
female sex of rearing is decided
ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY
For induction of puberty ( 10-12yrs):
Conjugated estrogen ( Premarin) 0.3 mg every other day for 6-12 mon.
Increase to 0.3 mg/day for another 6-12 mon. Increase to 0.625
mg/day ( days 1-26 of each mon).
(or)
Ethinyl estradiol 50 ng/day. Increase by 50-100 ng/ kg/ day q6-12 mon
to a dose of 20-30 ug/ day)
(or)
Transdermal estrogen patches 0.025 mg/day twice weekly and
increased every 6-12 mon ( 0.0375 mg/day, 0.05 mg/day)
(and)
Cyclic estrogen and progesterone therapy if uterus is present.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) 5-10 mg/day ( days 15-26)
TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT
THERAPY
For induction of puberty (12-14 yr):
50 mg IM testosterone enanthate or cypionate
monthly starting at 12-13 years of age
Gradually increase by 25-50 mg/ 6-12 mons to a
dose of 200mg q 2-3 week
WHAT TO TELL PARENTS..??
PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT TO PARENTS
• Show the baby to the parents
• Counsel both parents together
• Do not commit- unless sure
What to tell the parents?
• The baby is healthy but the external genitalia is incompletely developed &
tests are necessary to determine the sex
• There are other babies with similar condition
• A No. of treatable conditions can result in atypical genetalia
• Reassurance that a good outcome can be anticipated
• How long the process of investigation will take ? Around 3-4 Wk
• Give them appt times & names of the people who will see them
• To talk about their fears of future sexual identity & sexual orientation of
their child  preferably with psychologist or social worker
• Support when it comes to facing their friend & relatives
TAKE HOME MESSAGE
• DSD is a medical emergency and social
emergency
• Rule out CAH in a child who is not growing
well and presents with adrenal crisis
• Multidisciplinary approach
• Phenotypic sex- guides investigations
• Do not commit sex/gender of rearing unless
sure

Approach to dsd siddarth mahajan

  • 1. Approach to a Child with Ambiguous Genitalia Student Name – Siddharth Mahajan Guide - Dr. Nilofer Mujawar
  • 2. Ambiguous Genitalia • Definition: Any case in which the external genitalia do not appear either completely male or completely female. • Incidence: – Full range of Disorders of Sex Development(DSD) – 1:1500 births – With significant genital ambiguity – 1:5000 births
  • 3. When to suspect??? • A penis and bilaterally non-palpable testes. • Unilateral cryptorchidism with hypospadias. • Peno-scrotal or perineo-scrotal hypospadias, with or without micro-phallus, even if the testes are descended. • Apparently female appearance with enlarged clitoris or inguinal hernia. • Overtly abnormal genital development such as cloacal exstrophy. • Asymmetry of labioscrotal folds, with or without cryptorchidism. • Discordance of external genitalia with prenatal karyotype.
  • 4. Normal External Genitalia in a MALE Child • Stretched Penile length > 2.5 cm • External urethral opening at the tip of the penis • Scrotum is relatively larger & having darker skin • Both testes in scrotum
  • 5. Normal External Genitalia in a FEMALE Child • Labia minora & clitoris are completely covered by Labia majora. • Skin of the labia majora is darker. • Mucuoid, non-purulent discharge may be observed from vagina. • Occasionally mild withdrawal bleeding from vagina due to maternal hormones
  • 6. Terminologies: 1. Genetic / Chromosomal sex 2. Gonadal sex 3. Phenotypic / Anatomic sex 4. Gender identity 5. Gender role 6. Sexual orientation
  • 7. 1) Genetic sex • Determined by chromosomal complement of the zygote. • Presence or absence of specific genes necessary for normal sexual development. • In male SOX9 , SF1 ,WT1 • In Female WNT4, DAX1
  • 8. 2) Gonadal sex • Undifferentiated gonads develop in the bilateral genital ridges around 6 weeks of gestation and begins to differentiate by 7 weeks. • SRY (Sex determining Region on Y chromosome) which encode the primary testis determining factor on the short arm of Y chomosome causes undifferentiated gonads to develop into testis. • In absence of SRY & Testis determining factor - normal female pathway continue- which is by default.
  • 9. 3)Phenotypic sex • Refers to the external appearance of the genitalia.
  • 10. 4) Gender Identity • Person’s self identification as male or female • One’s internal sense of gender
  • 11. 5) Gender Role • Expression of characteristics that are sexually dimorphic within a general population (clothing/ toys preferences, physical aggression, grooming behavior, etc.) • One’s gender related behavior and interests in society.
  • 12. 6) Sexual orientation • Choice of sexual partner and erotic interest ( heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual )
  • 13. Normal Sexual Development 2 phases - 1. “Sex Determination” – the development of the undifferentiated gonad into testis or ovary. 2. “Sexual Differentiation” – the phenotypic sex develops through the action of gonadal and other hormones.
  • 14. Important enzymes and hormones: • hCG - LH  Testosterone (in testes) • 5α-reductase - Testosterone  Dyhydrotestosterone • Aromatase - testosterone  estrogen
  • 15.
  • 16.
  • 17. Normal sexual differentiation: bipotential embryonic tissues
  • 18. External genitalia in male and female
  • 19.
  • 20.
  • 21.
  • 22. Any variation or interruption in this normal process of sexual development, may affect development of Gonads, Internal Duct system &/or External Genitalia.
  • 23. Disorder of sexual development (DSD) • Disorder of sexual development (DSD) condition in which development of Chromosomal , Gonadal or Anatomical sex is atypical.
  • 24. Red flags for possible DSD in apparent male or female infants!!! • Apparent “Male Infant” – Bilateral undescended testes – Bifid scrotum – Hypospadias with one other abnormal finding (undescended testis/micropenis) • Apparent “Female Infant” – Clitoromegaly – Single genitourinary opening – Inguinal hernia

Relevant History in a child with Ambiguous Genitalia • Most cases either isolated occurrences or inherited as AR or X linked trait. • Family history of unexplained neonatal deaths (CAH). • Family history of hypospadias, cryptoorchidism, amenorrhea. • History of infertility in close relatives. • Maternal drug exposure during pregnancy - androgens, progestin, phenytoin. • Placental insufficiency ( HCG initiates synthesis of testosterone in fetal testes).
  • 63. Clinical Examination in Ambiguous Genitalia • Local examination: 1. External genitalia : Present/absent 2. If present: male/ female component 3. Male component: - Phallus: size, measure Stretched penile length(normal > 2.5cm) - Scrotum: skin, pigmentation, bifid -F/o virilization: pubic hair - hypospadias, epispadiasis, identify urethral opening - palpate testis : volume, inguinal region( NP)
  • 64. • Anogenital ratio- • Distance between the anus and the posterior forchette divided by the distance between anus and the base of the clitoris. • Ratio > 0.5 cm is indicative of 1 st trimester androgen exposure • Posterior fusion of the labioscrotal folds increse anogenital ratio.
  • 65. Clinical Examination in Ambiguous Genitalia 4. Female component: - labia majora / minora - Urethral opening - vaginal opening - Identify clitoris : measure(N < 1cm) - S/o virilization/ masculinization - Posterior labial fusion - Palpate inguinal region and labia majora for gonads - Per rectal examination – uterus
  • 66. Clinical Examination in Ambiguous Genitalia 5. Relevant general and systemic examination - height - weight - dysmorphic features - f/o Turner syndrome - breasts
  • 67. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 1) Karyotyping: results available in 72 hours by FISH (fluoroscent in situ hybridisation) technique Buccal smear highly unreliable for karyotype but applicable for FISH 2) Serum 17- Hydroxyprogesterone level - increased in 21 hydroxylase deficiency - normal level 100-200 ng/ dl
  • 68. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 3) ACTH Stimulation test: - Done to confirm diagnosis of CAH in case 17 hydroxyprogesterone level is boderline or non diagnostic range - 35 mcg/kg (max 0.25 mg) synthetic ACTH I.V - collect venous sample and assess 17 hydroxyprogesterone level -Will be increased 4-5 times over baseline in CAH 45-60 min
  • 69. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 4) HCG Stimulation test 1000 U/m2 hCG IM OD X 3 days 24 hours after last test Measure serum testosterone and DHT levels Testosterone <100 ng /dl - Deficiency of various enzyme of steroid biosynthesis - Leydig cell hypoplasia
  • 70. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 5) Testosterone Trial test: Leydig cell hypoplasia 25-50 mg testosterone IM every monthly for 3months X 3 doses Increase in phallic length atleast 1.5 cm ( 0.5 cm/mon) positive response 6) Baseline levels of – • Pregnenolone • Progesterone • 17 Hydroxypregnenolone • 17 Hydroxyprogesterone • Dehydroepiandrosterone ( DHEA) • Androstenedione • Testosterone • Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) • Cortisone
  • 71. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 7) Gonadal Biopsy Done > 18 months of age and > 9 kg weight Diagnosis of : a) Ovotesticular DSD b) Gonadal dysgenesis with Y chromosomes c) Dysgenetic testis d) XX male e) Leydig cell hypoplasia f) Persistent mullerian duct syndrome 8) Genital skin biopsy and study of cultured fibroblast - Androgen receptor resistance - 5 alpha reductase levels
  • 72. DIAGNOSTIC TESTS 9) USG/ MRI - MRI is found to be marginally more sensitive than USG, for evaluation of gonads. - For internal genital structures, both modalities were found to be equally sensitive and specific with no false positive results. - USG still remains the modality of choice for screening patients with DSD - MRI is helpful in cases with equivocal USG findings. .
  • 73. • 10) Genetic testing: – Particularly in CAH and complete androgen insensitivity. – Techniques like whole genome and exome sequencing – helpful in reaching a diagnosis for in infants with 46XY DSD, because a definitive diagnosis is currently not found in many.
  • 74. TREATMENT : • Requires a team of doctors involving a number of specialities – • Pediatrician, • pediatric endocrinology, • urology, • plastic surgery, • medical genetics and • psychology
  • 75. • Treatment options include : • RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY • HORMONE THERAPY
  • 76. RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY : • Goal is cosmetic, to make a boy’s or a girl’s genitalia look natural and also in hopes of restoring sexual function • May need repeat surgeries later in life • Certain types of surgery are most successful when carried out soon after birth, while others may be delayed till further child developement
  • 77. • FOR BOYS : surgery is complicated but often successful. It includes : – Lengthening of the incomplete penis – an undescended testis that is to be retained is best brought down into the scrotum at the time of initial gonadal biopsy – Correction of chordee and urethroplasty in boys with hypospadias is usually performed between 6 and 18 months of age
  • 78. • FOR GIRLS : sexual function of organs is often not compromised despite any ambiguous appearance. Depending on severity, options are : – Uncovering vagina hidden under skin – Removing excess masculine tissue around the clitoris(clitoral reduction) – done once hormone replacement therapy has begun – Testis should be removed soon after birth if female sex of rearing is decided
  • 79. ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY For induction of puberty ( 10-12yrs): Conjugated estrogen ( Premarin) 0.3 mg every other day for 6-12 mon. Increase to 0.3 mg/day for another 6-12 mon. Increase to 0.625 mg/day ( days 1-26 of each mon). (or) Ethinyl estradiol 50 ng/day. Increase by 50-100 ng/ kg/ day q6-12 mon to a dose of 20-30 ug/ day) (or) Transdermal estrogen patches 0.025 mg/day twice weekly and increased every 6-12 mon ( 0.0375 mg/day, 0.05 mg/day) (and) Cyclic estrogen and progesterone therapy if uterus is present. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) 5-10 mg/day ( days 15-26)
  • 80. TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY For induction of puberty (12-14 yr): 50 mg IM testosterone enanthate or cypionate monthly starting at 12-13 years of age Gradually increase by 25-50 mg/ 6-12 mons to a dose of 200mg q 2-3 week
  • 81. WHAT TO TELL PARENTS..??
  • 82. PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT TO PARENTS • Show the baby to the parents • Counsel both parents together • Do not commit- unless sure What to tell the parents? • The baby is healthy but the external genitalia is incompletely developed & tests are necessary to determine the sex • There are other babies with similar condition • A No. of treatable conditions can result in atypical genetalia • Reassurance that a good outcome can be anticipated • How long the process of investigation will take ? Around 3-4 Wk • Give them appt times & names of the people who will see them • To talk about their fears of future sexual identity & sexual orientation of their child  preferably with psychologist or social worker • Support when it comes to facing their friend & relatives
  • 83. TAKE HOME MESSAGE • DSD is a medical emergency and social emergency • Rule out CAH in a child who is not growing well and presents with adrenal crisis • Multidisciplinary approach • Phenotypic sex- guides investigations • Do not commit sex/gender of rearing unless sure
