title: Congenital adrenal hypoplasia: A disorder frequently missed.
abstract: Congenital adrenal hypoplasia is a rare disease which is known to cause severe salt wasting in the neonatal period. In this report, we describe three patients from two different families who were seen at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All patients presented with classical clinical, biochemical, hormonal and radiological findings of congenital adrenal hypoplasia. To the best of our knowledge, no similar cases were reported from this part of the world.
