Evaluation of the Combination of Anti-androgen and Anti-estrogen Treatment in Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Boys: Retrospective Study of 11 Cases

Lefevre Christine , Weill Jacques , Mazoyer Harmony , Cartigny Maryse

Background: Final height (FH) is reduced in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), due both to overtreatment by hydrocortisone therapy and to advanced epiphyseal closure linked to hyperandrogenism by Hydrocortisone therapeutic insufficiency.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of an androgen receptor competitor and an aromatase inhibitor to reduced hydrocortisone doses.Method...

Ovarian Cysts in a 46,XX Patient with Congenital Lipoid Adrenal Hyperplasia and with Spontaneous Puberty

Kopylova Irina , Orlova Elizaveta , Yarovaya Irina , Kareva Maria , Peterkova Valentina

Background: Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) is the most severe form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, characterized by lack of synthesis of all kinds of steroids in adrenals and gonads due to defects in gene of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory protein (StAR). 46,XX patients can have a spontaneous puberty due to residual estrogen synthesis by a StAR-independent pathway in ovary. Development of ovarian cysts may be derived from persistent anovulation and impairment o...

Bone Health Index in Children and Adolescents with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Alsaffar Hussain , Davies Rosie , Reed John , Das Urmi , Senniappan Senthil , Didi Mohammed , Blair Jo

Introduction: Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) require life long glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. In CAH, the adverse effect of GC on bone health (BH) may be counteracted by the effect of modest elevations in adrenal androgens.Aim: To examine relationships between BH index (BHI) SDS, calculated by BoneXpert on bone age (BA) x-rays, BA, hydrocortisone (HC) dose (mg/m2 per day), and mean 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) concentratio...

Background: Adrenal incidentalomas(AIs) are adrenal masses discovered occasionally by radiological evaluation in the absence of clinical features of adrenal disease. Clinical evaluation is important in patients with AIs. AIs are bilateral (1015%); manifest as nonfunctioning cortical adenomas (7080%), pheochromocytomas (1.111%), subclinical Cushing syndrome (520%), primary aldosteronism (12%), primary adrenocortical carcinomas (<5%) and metasta...

Final Height in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Retrospective Study

Martins Mariana , Reis-Melo Ana , Espada Filipa , Fonseca Marcelo

Background: A compromised final height (FH) is a concern in patients diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The lack of achievement of the genetic target height (TH) can be attributed to treatment with high doses of corticosteroids and high levels of adrenal androgens. Despite the emergence of new therapeutic modalities such as the use of anti-androgens and growth hormone it has been shown that a favorable FH can be achieved with careful use of corticosteroids.</...

Hyperandrogenism in a 12-year Old Girl with a Congenital Porto-Systemic Shunt and Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis

Danko Mikolaj , Kot Karolina , Szalecki Mieczysław , Moszczynska Elzbieta , Malinowska Anna

Background: Hyperandrogenism in children is associated with excessive adrenal or gonadal androgens secretion. The most common causes of androgens hypersecretion are PCOS, adrenal tumors, Cushings syndrome, CAH, and gonadal virilizing tumors. Within the last 15 years single case-reports of hyperandrogenism in female patients with congenital porto-systemic shunts were described in literature.

Background: The aim of therapy in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is to use glucocorticoid doses as low as possible to achieve adrenal suppression.

Final Height Data in a Cohort of Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Treated with Tailored Doses of Hydrocortisone

Shir Wey Pang Gloria , Rumsby Gill , Hindmarsh Peter C , Dattani Mehul T

Background: Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are glucocorticoid deficient and require cortisol replacement to maintain homeostasis and prevent adrenal crises. Hydrocortisone dosing needs to be individualized because of variable cortisol clearance rates. Patients are thus prone to be either over or undertreated, both of which compromises final height.Objective and hypotheses: Performing 24-h cortisol profiling serially may allow for more...
