Abstract
Sonographic examination of the adrenal glands of three newborns with c ongenital adrenal hyperplasia demonstrated a cerebriform pattern. This is introduced as a sonographic feature specific to the disease. This finding in patients with ambiguous genitalia should suggest the diagno sis even if the adrenals are not significantly enlarged, and should pr ompt appropriate biochemical analysis and treatment.
