The clitoral index: a determination of clitoral size in normal girls and in girls with abnormal sexual development.
Clitoral measurements were obtained in normal children; small increases in clitoral dimensions were associated with growth and puberty. Patients with androgen excess had major increases in clitoral size, clearly different from normal values.
