Abstract |
We experienced a case of female pseudohermaphroditism with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
The patient, a 10 day old female infant, was presented characteristic findings such as ambiguous sex and dehydration. The vaginogram revealed normal internal genital organs. The chromosome analysis was
46, XX. The electrolyte study showed hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. The 24 hours urinary
17-ketosteroid and 17-OHCS were 2.5 mg and 0.9 mg respectively, prior to treatment.
Fluid therapy, hydrocortisone and salt were tried with improvement.
The patient was considered to have 21-hydroxylation defect, “Salt-loser” from the clinical evidence.
A brief review of related literatures was made.
