Congenital adrenal hyperplasia with clitoromegaly: a case report

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare but significant medical disorder that affects the adrenal glands, causing excessive production of androgens, a group of hormones responsible for the characteristics associated with male sexual development. CAH can present in a variety of forms, with one typical clinical presentation being clitoromegaly, an enlarged clitoris in females. Clitoromegaly, or clitoral enlargement, is a visual manifestation of excessive androgen exposure during fetal development. Clitoromegaly is a sensitive and potentially anxiety-inducing condition, especially for girls and their families. In this report, we present a case of a young girl with clitoromegaly who underwent clitoroplasty.

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare but significant medical disorder that affects the adrenal glands, causing excessive production of androgens, a group of hormones responsible for the characteristics associated with male sexual development. CAH can present in a variety of forms, with one typical clinical presentation being clitoromegaly, an enlarged clitoris in females. Clitoromegaly, or clitoral enlargement, is a visual manifestation of excessive androgen exposure during fetal development. Clitoromegaly is a sensitive and potentially anxiety-inducing condition, especially for girls and their families. In this report, we present a case of a young girl with clitoromegaly who underwent clitoroplasty.
