dc.description.abstractStudy Objective: To describe the presentation, diagnosis, management, and short-term outcome of children with disorders of sexual development (DSD) in the context of multidisciplinary team care. Design: Prospective descriptive study. Setting: University Teaching Hospital. Participants: All children who presented with genital ambiguity. Interventions and Main Outcome Measures: Records of all patients diagnosed and managed for DSD between January 2011 and December 2016 were reviewed. The care pathway included clinical, laboratory, internal genitalia evaluation, and panel (including parents) meeting. Results: Fifteen children presented with DSD at a median age of 20 months. Only 5/15 (33.3%) presented in the neonatal period. Ten of fifteen patients (66.7%) presented with genital ambiguity. Ovotesticular DSD was the most common diagnosis (9/15; 60%). Seven of the patients were genetically female (46, XX), 1 was genetically male (46, XY) and 1 without genetic diagnosis. Six patients were assigned male gender and they underwent male genitoplasty. Five of them had excision of M€ullerian structures with gonadectomy. Three of fifteen patients (20%) were diagnosed as 46, XX DSD, at a median age of 7 years. All of them were due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia and underwent female genitoplasty. Two patients were diagnosed as XY, DSD. They were both raised as female at presentation and were reassigned male sex. Both had urethroplasty done. Four patients had postoperative urethrocutaneous fistula and 1 had partial wound dehiscence. The median follow-up period was 21 months (interquartile range, 2-26 months). Conclusion: The frequency of ovotesticular DSD is high in our setting. The decision of sex assignment was finally made at a median age of 7.5 months in most of our patients with satisfactory short-term surgical outcome.
