Introduction Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder primarily caused by 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency, impairing cortisol synthesis and resulting in elevated androgen levels. CAH presents in two classical forms: salt-wasting (SW) and simple virilizing (SV). Although CAH is rare in India, regional variations and the absence of a national newborn screening (NBS) program pose significant challenges to accurate diagnosis.

Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH) is a rare genetic condition that results in cortisol deficiency and excess production of adrenal androgens. While the introduction of newborn screening for CAH has reduced morbidity and mortality, management of CAH remains challenging. Lifelong treatment with glucocorticoids is required to replace the endogenous cortisol deficiency and reduce excess adrenal androgens.
