Cognitive function in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Cognition in patients with CAH has not been as well studied as other aspects of psychologic function. Nevertheless, it is possible to make some conclusions and to offer a number of hypotheses for further study (Table 1). First, patients with CAH do not seem to have an overall intellectual advantage as a direct consequence of the disease. The high IQs reported in some groups of patients with CAH...
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...
متن کاملShort-term growth in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE To describe short-term growth patterns in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). METHODS Height was measured daily in 5 children (1 boy) aged 3.9-9.7 years over 9-16 months. Kernel regression analysis was used to characterise short-term growth. The results were compared with data from 43 normal prepubertal children. RESULTS Growth was characterised by growth spurts wi...
متن کاملStudy of Social and Cognitive Functioning in Children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic problem of steroidogenesis in adrenals. Due to a particular enzyme deficiency causing lack of steroids, negative feedback involving hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is lost. This would result in increased production of adrenocorticotrophic hormone and corticotropin-releasing hormone which may have their effects on learning and mem...
متن کاملClassic 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...
