ABSTRACT
Before the seventh week of gestation, the gonads and external
genitals are exactly the same in both sexes. It is not until the
eighth week that the sexual differentiation appears by the
action of HY antigen produced by the Y chromosome. In many
cases an alteration of the course during the stage of the fetuss
formation might bring differentiation sexual disorders.
Such disorders have been considerate a social-medical
emergency to be cared by a multidisciplinary team which is
constituted basically by a pediatric endocrinologist, genetist,
psychologist or psychiatrist, radiologist, pediatric urologist and
nurses. Participation of nurses in this multidisciplinary team has
been left aside, but they play a fundamental role in caring of this
kind of patients, because since
birth, in different stages of the
studies, and during the treatment
they spend a lot of time with the
patient and his relatives. This is the
reason why they must have good
knowledge of pathology and the
way to handle the situation in
advantage of the child and his
parents.
