dc.description.abstract | Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are some of the most controversial and challenging conditions that pediatric urologists treat. This may be especially true in mosaic 45X/46XY DSD, due to the inability to ascertain in the neonatal period which gender identity will best suit a given child with this condition. It has therefore been proposed to forgo any irreversible surgical interventions. In order to address the concern of early testosterone production in a nonsurgical manner we describe a case in which we treat a patient with a GnRH agonist to block the early physiologic rise in testosterone during the neonatal mini-puberty. | en_US |
