Pseudovaginal Perineoscrotal Hypospadias - Presentation

Presentation

PPSH usually consists of:

  • a phallus midway in size between penis and clitoris,
  • a chordee tethering it to the perineum,
  • a urethral opening usually on the perineum (the hypospadias),
  • and an incompletely closed urogenital opening, which resembles a small and shallow vagina.

Testes are often palpable in the scrotum or inguinal canals, and the karyotype is XY. In most cases there are no internal female structures such as a uterus or other mullerian duct derivatives.
