Abstract:
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a recessive autosomal transmission endocrine pathology that exposes people who suffer from it to an abnormally high concentration of adrenal androgens during the prenatal and early postnatal periods. This disease induces female's virilism of variable degree. The case of a 29 year-old patient, who suffers from this affection and also presents a psychiatric disorder, raises questions about the possible consequences of an early exposure to androgens on the adult behaviour.
