Abstract

Disorders of sex development (DSD) is a broad term for congenital conditions with a discrepancy in chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex. Pediatricians are often faced with the challenge of managing a newborn/infant with atypical genitalia or an older child with disordered puberty, which come under the purview of DSD. This article provides an update for pediatricians on comprehensive approach to DSD with a focus on atypical genitalia.
