title: Internal male pseudohermaphroditism in a 6 week old child.
abstract: Here we describe a 6-week-old infant with internal male pseudo-hermaphroditism, detected during the repair of a left inguinoscrotal hernia. We advocate early orchidopexy during a first laparatomy and call attention to the risk of adhesions and subsequent complications if the gonads are replaced into the peritoneal cavity in advance of a precise histological and cytogenetic diagnosis.
