Abstract
When it is first noted in the newborn nursery that a child is born with ambiguous genitalia, it can be very upsetting and confusing for parents, as well as challenging for pediatricians and nursing staff. In this article, I hope to clarify the rather complex topic of ambiguous genitalia and its various causes. I will also review normal genital development, as well as the medical and surgical management of the various forms of ambiguous genitalia.
