Adrenogenital syndrome, or Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, is caused by a congenital insufficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase, which is responsible for converting cortisol into cholesterol.

Clitoromegaly is an embarrassing condition, causing psychological stress to young girls and, hence requiring intervention.

Summary: A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis after acute left lower-limb ischemia requiring amputation and portal vein thrombosis. After surgery he developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with venous thromboembolism, successfully treated with argatroban followed by dabigatran. Our systematic review of the literature supports the use of dabigatran for suspected HIT.
