Abstract
This is the largest prospective study of the incidence of CAIS in girls with hernias. The authors found that 1.1% of premenstrual girls with inguinal hernias have this syndrome. The authors also provide standards for normal vaginal length in the pediatric population. Vaginal length increases predictably with age, and some patients with CAIS have significantly shorter vaginas. Vaginal length is not a perfect predictor of this disorder, but can be a useful adjunctive screening tool.
