Abstract

Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in males usually presents late until before puberty, but rarely at birth. In cases of undiagnosed CAH, severe deficiency of cortisol may lead to life threatening situation in an infant with acute salt losing crisis. Screening for CAH at birth can lead to better outcomes.
