背景：先前的研究表明，新生儿阴蒂大小和肛门与生殖器距离存在显著的种族和民族差异。本研究的目的是文件的阴蒂大小和肛门与生殖器的距离明显正常的足月女婴在Sagamu.Methods：本研究是一项多中心，横断面描述性研究进行了317名足月女婴在第一个72小时的生命。采用访谈式问卷调查，以获得社会人口学资料，怀孕和出生史。使用滑动数字卡尺进行测量。结果：阴蒂长度平均为6.7 ± 1.6mm，宽度平均为5.6 ± 0.8mm，阴蒂与阴蒂的距离、肛门与阴蒂的距离和肛门与阴蒂的距离分别为21.9 ± 2.1mm、35.5 ± 2.5mm和17.0 ± 2.6mm。肛门阴蒂和肛门fourchette的距离显着相关的人体测量参数，而阴蒂的测量没有。结论：在这项研究中记录的平均值高于观察到的大多数以前的研究。这种简单，负担得起和非侵入性的评估可以帮助早期诊断和治疗女婴与潜在的有害条件，如先天性肾上腺皮质增生。
Background: Previous studies suggest significant ethnic and racial differences in clitoral sizes and anogenital distances in the newborn. This study aimed to document normative data on clitoral sizes and anogenital distances of apparently normal term female infants in Sagamu.Methods: The study was a multi-center, cross-sectional descriptive research carried out among 317 female term infants within the first 72 h of life. Interviewer-based questionnaire was applied to obtain sociodemographic data, pregnancy and birth history. A sliding digital caliper was used for measurement. Data analysis was with SPSS version 20.0.Results: The mean clitoral length was 6.7 +/- 1.6 mm while the mean clitoral width was 5.6 +/- 0.8 mm. The mean fourchette-clitoris distance, anus-clitoris distance and anus-fourchette distance were 21.9 +/- 2.1 mm, 35.5 +/- 2.5 mm and 17.0 +/- 2.6 mm respectively. The anus-clitoris and anus-fourchette distances significantly correlated with the anthropometric parameters while the clitoral measurements did not.Conclusion: The mean values recorded in this study were higher than observed in most previous studies. This simple, affordable and non-invasive evaluation could aid early diagnosis and treatment of female infants with potentially harmful conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
