Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the initial presenting features of children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study over a period of 5 years. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Science. Results: Ambiguous genitalia (AG) was the commonest initial presentation marking 50.7% of the patients. On the other hand, 33.3% presented with a salt-losing crisis, 4.1% of whom presented with shock, while 14.5% had a combined presentation of both AG and a salt-losing crisis. Conclusions: CAH should be highly suspected in all females born with AG. Contrarily, affected male newborns more frequently present with a salt-losing crisis, and considering the recent institution of newborn screening in Saudi Arabia, earlier detection in these children is anticipated.

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. Because of virilizing effect of androgens and its over- production, girls develop clitoral hypertrophy or Clitoromegaly. Clitoromegaly is an embarrassing condition, causing psychological stress to young girls and, hence requiring intervention. The goals of clitoroplasty are to achieve normal genital anatomy and to preserve tactile sensation with a satisfactory sexual response. We present a case of Adrenogenital syndrome with Clitoromegaly managed by reduction Clitoroplasty, preserving the dorsal neurovascular bundle and extensive network of nerves around the corpora to the glans and there by preserving the tactile sensation of the clitoris.
