Pregnancy and childbirth in a true hermaphrodite.
A rare case of pregnancy and parturition in a true hermaphrodite is reported. This patient, who was 25 years of age when first seen, had an ovotestis on the left and an ovary on the right gonad, with a karyotype of 46,XX. Following removal of the left ovotestis and surgical correction of the external genitalia, she married at the age of 31 and subsequently delivered a normal male child, karyotype 45,XY, by cesarean section.
