[True hermaphroditism in a 14-year-old boy--diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties].
The authors present a boy with a 46, XX/46, XY karyotype in whom true hermaphroditism was diagnosed, stressing the importance of establishing the cause of the condition and further management prior to discharging the neonate. The ultimate sex must allow the patient to best fulfill his/her psychosocial role in society.
