Case llis a 2 month old boy who has failure to thrive and frequent episode of dehydration. Case lll is a 5 year and 3 month old girl who has enlarged clitoris without salt craving since birth. All 3 cases have higher level of 17KS than normal but normal blood pressure. Serum 17 OH progesterone or urinary pregnanetriol were not checked. All patients were well responding with corticosteroid and 17 KS in 24 hour urine were decreased to normal. These patients are considered to have 21 hydroxylation defect type in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Review of literature and references on congenital adrenal hyperplasia was attempted priefly.
