Overview
Symptoms of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency include female patients with ambiguous genitalia, clitoromegaly, labial fusion, hirsutism, menstrual irregularities, aggressive behavior; male patients present with increased penile size in newborns, acne. Children who are not diagnosed at birth, may present with premature adrenarche, adult body odor, axillary and pubic hair development, faster growth and bone age in premature adrenarche.
History
- History of pseudo-precocious puberty
- Family history of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency
Common Symptoms
Hypertension in children or adolescents, occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients.[1][2][3][4]
In classic form of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency
- Female are identified with:
- Ambiguous genitalia
- Clitoromegaly
- Labial fusion
- Hirsutism
- Menstrual irregularities
- Aggressive behavior
- Children who are not diagnosed at birth, may present with:
- Premature adrenarche
- Adult body odor
- Axillary and pubic hair development
- Faster growth and bone age in premature adrenarche.
Less Common Symptoms
Female
- Cognitive function disturbance such as IQ impairment
- Male-typical cognitive pattern (better performance on spatial tasks, worse performance on verbal tasks)
Male
- Testicular masses due to testicular adrenal rest tumors; these tumors caused by high level of ACTH
- Gonadal dysfunction as a result of testicular adrenal rest tumors
- Infertility due to seminiferous tubule obstruction
Non-classic type is a rare and mild disease than the classic type.
