Abstract
AbstractAmbiguous genitalia is a common feature in most disorders of sexual development. These disorders can be evaluated within three groups: sex chromosome disorders, 46,XY disorders, and 46,XX disorders. Except for Turner's syndrome, these anomalies are not related to neurological developmental anomalies. A 6-month-old patient presenting with ambiguous genitalia had developmental and motor retardation with nystagmus. In karyotype analysis, 45,X/46,XY sequences were found, compatible with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (GD). Laboratory findings were normal except for low serum total testosterone level. The uterus and left adnexal structures were seen in imaging. There were no gonads in the labial/scrotal regions. Septooptic dysplasia (SOD) and Joubert's syndrome (JS) were detected in cranial magnetic resonance imaging. This presentation reports rare association of SOD and JS in a child with mixed GD.
