Adrenal Disorders: II. Congenital Virilizing Adrenal Hyperplasia

Birthweight in congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia.

The deficiency of C-21-hydroxylation in adrenocorticosteroid synthesis is the commonest cause of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia (CVAH). Abnormal secretory activity in CVAH begins about the third month of gestation before the differentiation of external genitalia (Bierich, 1963). The masculinization of the female external genitalia noted at birth in almost all cases is thought to resu...

Urinary steroids in fifteen cases of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia.

Since it was shown by Wilkins et al. (1950) that high output of urinary 17-ketosteroids in cases of congenital virilizing adrenal hyperplasia was suppressed by administration of glucocorticoids, the syndrome has been considered to be due to a deficiency in the enzymatic processes necessary for biosynthesis of cortisol. The most common type of the cases shows disturbances in changing 17ƒ¿hydroxy...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Schmid Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia in a Child

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of hereditary diseases, which are autosomal recessive. CAH occurs due to defect in one of the cortisol coding genes and often clinically presents itself with signs of androgen overproduction. In this article, we report a case of CAH and Schmid metaphyseal dysplasia. Our literature review indicated that this report is the first attempt on CYP11B1 a...
