Abstract

Ambiguous genitalia represent a group of congenital disorders where the external genitalia of a child appear atypical. In our environment, the huge joy and celebrations that normally accompany the arrival of such a baby are replaced with great apprehension and confusion in the family. Radiological evaluation of the gonads and internal genital organs constitutes an important component of multidisciplinary team approach required in the work-up and treatment of this condition. We report a case of ambiguous genitalia in a female with clitorimegaly, unicornuate uterus and single patent fallopian tube. It demonstrates the central role of imaging in the diagnosis and care of such patient.

Key Words   
Ambiguous genitalia, Clitorimegaly, Unicornuate uterus, Flush genitogram
