ANTENATAL FACTOR IN GYNECOLOGICAL PATHOLOGY 25 forms of pseudo-hermaphroditism ;—-these are some of the admittedlyantenatal morbid states of the female genitals. They are dealt within greater or less detail in all the text-books of gynecology (6,13, 14).It may be noted in passing that all these anomalies are arrestmentsof normal embryological processes; they are the expression of thepathology of the genital organs during the stage of their evolution orconstruction ; they represent morbid embryogenesis ; and, judging bywhat is known of the causation of malformations of other parts of thebody in the human subject and among animals, it may be presumedthat the disturbance of embryogenesis is brought about by the actionof traumatism, microbes, or toxines upon the embryo in utero. But antenatal diseases, as well as antenatal malformations of thefemale generative organs, are met with and leave their impress uponthe later history of
