“…In this series, the associated incidence for posterior cloacas was 93%. The most frequent urologic malformation found in posterior cloacas was an accessory urethra that has also been described by other authors [8,9,13]. As already mentioned, it is a very stenotic urethra; and its reconstruction should not be attempted because the patient has a functioning urethra that is posteriorly deviated.…”

“…In our series of patients, we had 4 male fetuses with a cloacal anomaly and a malformed penis. It seems, therefore, that anomalies of the external genitalia may appear in many cases of a cloacal anomaly 9 – 15 . The case presented in this study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first reported with a transient change in the external genitalia in a fetus with a cloacal anomaly.…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe a series of cases of transient changes in the female fetal external genitalia. Methods In our practice area, most pregnant women usually undergo a detailed sonographic survey of all fetal organs, including the external genitalia in early and mid pregnancy. Results During the study period (1987–2010), 62,145 consecutive pregnant women were scanned. We detected 4 fetuses with an isolated finding of clitoromegaly at 15 to 16 weeks' gestation, which disappeared at 22 to 26 weeks. Maternal hormonal study results were normal. There was 1 case of clitoromegaly and a cloacal anomaly at 15 weeks' gestation, in which the clitoris retuned to a normal size at 22 weeks. In addition, there were 3 cases of hypertrophy of the labia minora in early pregnancy, which disappeared at 26 to 32 weeks. All fetuses in these series had a normal XX karyotype and normal external genitalia at birth. Conclusions Transient changes in the appearance of the fetal external genitalia may occur in chromosomally normal female fetuses.

“…It has been reported that most cases of FPH may be resulted from administration of steroids to pregnant bitches during critical stages of fetal development, inducing virilization of female fetuses (Olson et al, 1989). It has been hypothesized that the presence of masculinized external female genitalia is mainly due to fetal (in utero) androgenization (Macarthur and Mahomed, 2006;Sacks and Beraud, 2012). The presence of partially developed internal male system in the form of male gubernaculum cannot be a result of androgen/testosterone stimulation from interstitial cells of testicular tissue, as the male system would have been then fully developed.…”

Congenital urogenital anomalies are well recognized but infrequent finding in dogs. Due to the complex urogenital anatomy such congenital anomalies encompasses a wide range of phenotypic variations. The most common complication associated with these anomalies includes dysuria, urinary incontinence, skin scald dermatitis and recurrent urinary tract infection. The objective of the present study was to report five Pit Bull dogs diagnosed to have female pseudohermaphroditism with special reference to their surgical management. Complete physical, radiographic and ultrasonographic examinations were done. Corrective surgery was designed individually for each case including clitorectomy, reconstruction of the vaginal floor and correction of penile direction. All surgeries resulted in uncomplicated wound healing and relieve of the associated urinary incontinence, skin scald dermatitis. Owner's satisfaction was achieved in all dogs. None of the dogs developed urinary incontinence and/or urinary tract infection following surgery. When considering surgical correction in dogs with female pseudohermaphroditism, the outcome of surgical decision is usually depend upon the course of the urethra and the position of the external urethral orifice.
