Abstract

Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia by 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease whose usual presentation is a late virilization. In some African countries like Morocco, there are cultural barriers to gynecological examination in girls, women consult until late for a sexual problem as in the case of our patient who consulted for a clitoris hypertrophy at the age of 22 years and the hormonal assessment found a high level of 17 hydroxerone in favor of a 21 hydroxylase deficiency.
