Abstract
Assignment of sex to a neonate on the basis of external gonadal sex pattern may be erroneous; at times it may be necessary to also assess internal gonadal, chromosomal, and hormonal sex patterns. Neonatal genital ambiguities that are of surgical interest are discussed; these include gonadal dysgenesis and agenesis (Turner and Klinefelter syndromes), testicular feminization, male hermaphroditism, female hermaphroditism (congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia), and true hermaphroditism.
