Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of steroid synthesis pathway and remains the commonest cause of primary adrenal insufficiency in the pediatric age group. It is included in the newborn metabolic screening panel and is mostly diagnosed in the early neonatal period.
