In this case report, we aimed to present the ultrasonographic findings in.a prepubertal boy manifesting with CAH and to emphasize the role of ultrasonography in the follow up of treatment.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) results from an enzymatic defect in the biosynthetic pathway of adrenal steroids, mostly 21-hydroxilase.
📊
Key Findings & Data:This enzyme deficiency results in reduced production of cortisol and the accumulation of hormonal precursors, some of which produce androgenic effects.

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) results from an enzymatic defect in the biosynthetic pathway of adrenal steroids, mostly 21-hydroxilase. This enzyme deficiency results in reduced production of cortisol and the accumulation of hormonal precursors, some of which produce androgenic effects. In this case report, we aimed to present the ultrasonographic findings in.a prepubertal boy manifesting with CAH and to emphasize the role of ultrasonography in the follow up of treatment.

Özet

Konjenital adrenal hiperplazi (KAH), adrenal steroidlerin yapımındaki enzimatik defektden, en sık da 21- hidroksilaz enzim eksikliğinden kaynaklanır. Bu enzim eksikliği azalmış kortizol yapımına ve hormon ara ürünlerinin birikmesi, androjenik etkilere neden olur. Biz bu olgu bildirisinde, prepubertal dönemde manifest hide gelmiş olan KAH'lı bir olgunun tanısmdaki ultrasonografi bulgularını sunmayı ve tedavinin takibinde ultrasonografinin önemli rolüne değinmeyi amaçladık.
