Androgen-insensitivity syndrome (ALS) (Testicular feminisation or Morris syndrome) (6,7) is characterised by external female genitalia and bilateral testes with a normal male karyotype (3,4). This kind of syndrome is transmitted recessively. Presence of hypoplastic and short "pseudo-vagina" is one of the characteristics of this syndrome. We report here a case of AIS in which there was a well-formed vagina (6 cm). The case was diagnosed antenatally and managed laparoscopically.

Abstract
Androgen-insensitivity syndrome (ALS) (Testicular feminisation or Morris syndrome) (6,7) is characterised by external female genitalia and bilateral testes with a normal male karyotype (3,4). This kind of syndrome is transmitted recessively. Presence of hypoplastic and short "pseudo-vagina" is one of the characteristics of this syndrome. We report here a case of AIS in which there was a well-formed vagina (6 cm). The case was diagnosed antenatally and managed laparoscopically.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
