Abstract

A case of female false hermaphroditism is reported in a 30-year-old woman with urogenital sinus. This woman has undergone vaginoplasty and urethral transposition. The latter is not usually made in women with urogenital sinus. This leads to the position of the external urethral ostium in the depth of the newly formed vagina and, finally, to ectopia of the external urethral ostium or hypospadia. The result is that such woman suffers all life from urethritis, cystitis and vulvovaginitis.
