Abstract

Testicular regression syndrome is representative of a clinical range of 46,XY agonadal persons, in which the testes of the victim's are irreparably damaged at a critical stage in fetal development. The critical stage of testicular regression syndrome is represented by a range of abnormalities of genital development. Recently, we experienced a case of early fetal testicular regression syndrome with no definite gonad and a cloacal anomaly associated with imperforate anus, so we present it with brief review of literature.

Key Words: Testicular regression syndrome, 46,XY agonadal person
