“…The term “intersex” has been used in the past to describe children with congenital conditions, such as CAH, that result in nontypical sex development; however, in the mid-2000s, it was determined that this term had negative connotations and was not preferred by parents. “Intersex” was then replaced by “disorders of sex development” (DSD; Davies, Malone, & Fairhurst, 2012). Despite this new term, a more recent study showed the terminology most supported by the CAH community was “non-typical genitalia” (Lin-Su, Lekarev, Poppas & Vogiatzi, 2015) over “ambiguous genitalia” or “disorder of sex development”; hence, “non-typical genitalia” is the appropriate terminology for health care providers to use today.…”

Children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are exposed to high levels of testosterone in utero often resulting in nontypical genitalia at birth for girls. The purpose of this analysis, which draws on data from a larger study, was to examine, based on the gender of the child, the family experiences of having a child with CAH. Sixteen parents were interviewed, and comparisons were made across all categories coded in the parents' interviews to examine similarities and differences in the experiences of families based on the child's gender. Families having a daughter with CAH experienced additional challenges when compared with families having a son. These include fear of stigmatization, challenging surgical decisions, and concerns regarding disclosure of the condition. Acknowledging this and creating support programs tailored for girls that address surgical procedures and complications resulting from being born with elevated testosterone are critical to promoting a healthy family and child response.

“…Both patients did undergo ultrasound imaging prior to their gonadectomy. Ultrasound imaging is often the initial imaging modality and can demonstrate the heterogeneous texture of a gonadoblastoma or echogenic foci from calcification in the early stages of malignant change 9 . Patient #1 did have a hypoechoic foci seen on both ovaries which likely correlated to the gonadoblastomas detected on pathology.…”
