Aphallia: a case report and literature review

Afr J Paediatr Surg. 2011 Sep-Dec;8(3):324-5. doi: 10.4103/0189-6725.91675.

Abstract

Aphallia is a complex urogenital malformation. It is rarely described in literature. Treatment calls upon feminising genitoplasty in most cases. Authors describe a case in a neonate, insisting on the sociocultural realities which guided their indications.
