Abstract

We have experienced three cases of female pseudohermaphroditism with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. First case was salt-losing type and the other two cases were non salt-losing type. First patient, 2 months old female infant, was admitted to hospital because of vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and ambiguous sex. In electrolyte study, she had hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. The other two cases, 2 Years 10 Months old female and 4 Years old female, were complaints of ambiguous sex and accelerated growth. Their 24 Hours urinary 17-ketosteroid were increased and sex chromatin of all three cases were positive. These three patient were considered to have 21-hydroxylase defect. A brief review of related literatures was made.
