Abstract:
During the last 6.5 years 49 patients with inter sex were managed at the Department of Urology, Seoul National University Hospital. The median age was 8.8 years (from 2 months to 37 years). The patients consist of 15 female pseudohermaphroditism (adrenogenital syndrome), 4 true hermaphroditism, 21 male pseudohermaphroditism, 3 mixed gonadal dysgenesis, 3 Turner`s syndrome and 3 miscellaneous inter sex including Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. Though early diagnosis and treatment are most important, only 10 patients (20%) were diagnosed before 2.5 years of age.
