Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is attributed to inherited enzyme defects in the adrenal cortex. The classical form results in reduced production of cortisol and aldosterone, accompanied by an increase in production of adrenal cortical androgens. This causes virilisation in girls, adrenocortical failure and early puberty in both sexes. This article describes the genetics, clinical picture, diagn...
متن کاملClassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and puberty.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders resulting from deficiency of one of the five enzymes required for synthesis of cortisol in the adrenal cortex. The most common form of the disease is classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which is characterized by decreased synthesis of glucocorticoids and often mineralocorticoids, adrenal hyperandrogenism and impaire...
متن کاملClassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia: A delayed presentation
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare congenital disorder, which in cases of female genotype may result in virilization. Specific enzyme deficiencies in adrenocorticoid hormones biosynthetic pathway lead to excess androgen production causing virilization. Classic type presents early in infant life as salt losing or simple virilizing type, whereas non classic form presents late at puber...
متن کاملTesticular Adrenal Rest Tumor Mimicking Leydig Cell Tumor in a Patient with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by enzyme defects in the steroidogenic pathways. Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are may have serious consequences in patients with CAH. They probably develop from ectopic remnants of intratesticular adrenal tissue, which might be stimulated by the rise of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Their histo...
متن کاملCongenital 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...
