Abstract

Ambiguous genitalia (AG) occurs due to dysfunctions in the genetic and hormonal signaling of the structures that make up the genitalia, forming part of the sexual development anomalies (SDA). We report a case of genital ambiguity in a patient with peripheral insensitivity to androgens (Morris Syndrome) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which was diagnosed through the association of ultrasonography with cordocentesis. Early diagnosis avoids severe psychosocial adversities for the patient and family.
