Wednesday, April 10, 2024

9:00am - 10:30am

Location:Governor's E - 4th Floor

CE: 1.5

Ambiguity in external genital examination, encountered at delivery, is an emergent concern for neonatologists. Over the ensuing hours, days, and weeks, medical and then functional concerns grow to engage the expertise of urology, radiology, endocrinology, social work, genetics, and OB/GYN, potentially overwhelming families if not addressed in a timely manner, openly, methodically, and non-judgmentally. This session will discuss the current state-of-art for evaluation of the most common causes of genital ambiguity and define what is known and what remains uncertain in 2024.
