Adrenogenital Syndrome
KORSAKOFF'S SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH ADRENAL VIRILISM. (1/3)
Korsakoff's syndrome of obscure etiology was observed in a 34-year-old single woman with an 11-year history of hirsutism and mood swings, and previous hospitalizations for mania three years ago and depression 11 years ago.Recently the virilism had intensified with increased muscularity and coarsening of facial features. The 24-hour urinary 17-ketosteroids ranged between 14.4 mg. and 21.5 mg. and were suppressed by dexamethasone. The 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion was normal. These and other findings suggested a diagnosis of adrenal virilism due to adrenocortical hyperplasia. In the absence of other discernible causes it appeared that the adrenal pathology was responsible for the Korsakoff's syndrome. Both conditions responded well to glucocorticoid therapy although low doses were necessary to avoid mania.It is speculated that the encephalopathy was due to an associated adrenal insufficiency. Although hypoadrenalism is accepted as a complication of only the infant form of adrenal virilism, it is noteworthy that this patient had pathological pigmentation of her skin.

We report 2 cases of clitoromegaly, 1 in a patient with true hermaphroditism, and the other in a patient with adrenogenital syndrome. Both were treated surgically with reduction clitoroplasty. There are 3 different clitoroplasty procedures: clitorectomy, clitoral recession, and reduction clitoroplasty. Reduction clitoroplasty with preservation of the neurovascular bundle is considered superior in terms of formation of the external genitals and sensation. However, the disadvantages are that detachment of the neurovascular bundle from the clitoral shaft is difficult and that there is a high possibility of sensory and blood flow disorders in the clitoris. In an attempt to achieve safe and reliable surgical manipulation, we used a surgical microscope (OPMI 6-SDFC, Carl Zeiss Surgical GmbH, magnification x8) to detach the neurovascular bundle from the clitoral shaft in our 2 patients. Our impression is that our efforts were extremely effective. Furthermore, our experience leads us to believe that the procedure for neurovascular bundle detachment required in reduction clitoroplasty is not particularly difficult if performed with a surgical microscope by a plastic surgeon who regularly performs microsurgery. Because the procedure can be performed simply and safely, we believe that reduction clitoroplasty with preservation of the neurovascular bundle is the best overall of the 3 clitoroplasty procedures.

(+info)Adrenogenital syndrome (AGS) is a group of inherited disorders characterized by excessive production of androgens (male sex hormones) by the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys and are responsible for producing several essential hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens.
In AGS, there is a defect in one of the enzymes involved in the production of these hormones, leading to an accumulation of precursor steroids and overproduction of androgens. This excess androgen can cause a variety of symptoms, including early puberty, rapid growth, and virilization (the development of male secondary sexual characteristics) in both males and females.
There are several different types of AGS, which are classified based on the specific enzyme deficiency involved. The most common form is congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which results from a deficiency in the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. Other forms of AGS include 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency, 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, and 17-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency.
Treatment for AGS typically involves replacing the missing hormones with medications such as corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids, as well as managing any symptoms that arise from excess androgen production. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct genital abnormalities or other physical manifestations of the disorder.
A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.
For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.
