title: [Congenital adrenal cortex hypoplasia. The diagnostic importance of estriol determination in late pregnancy].
abstract: Congenital adrenocortical hypoplasia is a malformation of unknown etiology leading to Addison's disease. The prognosis depends on early diagnosis which is difficult during the neonatal period. Decreased maternal secretion of estriol in late pregnancy is an important diagnostic clue.
