Overview
Patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency usually appear underweight and dehydrated. Physical examination is usually remarkable for hypotension and virilization.
Physical Examination
Common physical examination findings of 21-hydroxylase deficiency include:[1][2][3][4][5]
General appearance of the patient
- Classic salt wasting type:
- Infants may be underweight and dehydrated
- Pre-pubertal changes: may have tall stature, increased muscle mass, acne, and adult body odor
Vitals
- Classic salt-wasting type: hypotension
- Reflex tachycardia
Head
Skin
Genitals
- Females in classic type may exhibit:
- Female in non-classic type:
- Male in classic type:
- Penile enlargement
- Testicular mass
- Hyperpigmentation of the scrotum
- Early virilization at two to four years of age with (pubic hair, growth spurt, adult body odor).
- Male in non-classic type:
- Normal appearing at birth.
Cognitive function:
- Female:
- Male-typical cognitive pattern (better performance on spatial tasks, worse performance on verbal tasks)
- Cross-gender role behavior
- lower intelligence quotients (IQ)
