A clinical descriptive study was done to determine the sociodemographic, laboratory and clinical characteristics of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) referred to Hospital Putrajaya, a tertiary endocrine centre in Malaysia. Electronic laboratory data of 51 CAH patients were obtained. The demographics and clinical details of the study population were acquired from a questionnaire completed by parents of participants. There were 25 males (49%) and 26 females (51%), of which, 58.8% were Malays. Median age of participants was 4 years whilst median age at diagnosis of CAH was two years. Parental consanguinity was documented in three patients (5.9%). Patients originated from Johor (19.6%), Selangor (19.6%), Negeri Sembilan (17.6%) and Kedah (13.7%). Majority of patients were diagnosed after one week of life (80.4%) although more females were diagnosed under the age of one week compared to males (p=0.041). Most females presented with ambiguous genitalia (42.3%) [p=0.001] whereas 72% of males presented with salt wasting (p=0.003). No significant associations between race and all other variables, though interestingly three Malay patients presented with ambiguous genitalia and hypertension. Equal gender distribution noted as expected in an autosomal recessive condition, although not in keeping with other Asian countries. Early diagnosis in females attributed to obvious genital ambiguity at birth. Varied clinical presentation, although in minority, necessitates genetic studies for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Considering that majority of patients presented with salt wasting and the age at diagnosis was delayed, the introduction of a neonatal screening programme is essential in Malaysia.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Turner Syndrome are not very rare diseases. However, their combination may be confounding. Presented here is a case of a 54 year old nulligravid, with primary amenorrhea, short stature, absent breast development, hirsutism, signs of virilization, and clitoromegaly who came in due to hypogastric pain and an enlarging palpable hypogastric mass. Diagnostic procedures and surgical management are discussed.

It has been suggested that cortisol deficiency may be responsible for the cholestasis. Although congenital hypopituitarism was reported as a possible cause of neonatal cholestasis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia with neonatal cholestasis is a very rare report in the literature. We experienced a case presenting with neonatal cholestasis associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This case provides a clinical evidence supporting the notion that cortisol has an important physiological role in bile acid synthesis and transport.
