People with intersex conditions have male-typical and female-typical traits, to varying degrees in genetics and anatomy. Because of these variations, people with intersex conditions or disorders of sexual development can face difficulties related to their identities and relationships. As a matter of ethics, clinicians should exhibit humane behavior toward patients of all ages as they explore the meaning of their intersex condition for their health and well-being. Clinicians can also help families understand the meaning of that condition for their children and themselves. Clinicians will also have responsibilities toward child, adolescent, and adult patients bearing on the psychological effects of body modifications taken to normalize their sexual appearance. In addition, clinicians will have the responsibility to address the effects of body modifications hoped for by the patient. Observance of confidentiality is key in relationships with intersex patients.

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.
