Q

Development of the Ovary?

A

Ovaries – dual function
Gonads – contain egg cells (oocytes)
Endocrine glands - produce hormones

  • There are several million oocytes in a developing ovary
  • By birth 1 million left
  • By menarche less than half million left.

Q

Ambiguous Genitalia- role of ultrasound?

A
  • Determine the presence of the uterus
  • The presence of the uterus and ovaries will point to a virilized female
  • Identify the gonads.
  • The presence of testis palpable and seen in the scrotum or lower inguinal canal will rule out virilazation of female infant
  • R/o CAH and renal anomalies
