Abstract
The objective of this study was to discuss the etiology of cerebral infarction in three cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) based on detailed individual case reports. Patients consisted of three children, two female, one male, 3y, 2y 6mon., and 3y 6mon, with CAH who developed cerebral infarction. The possibility of cerebral infarction following hypoglycemia due to adrenal insufficiency can be considered but the evidence is not conclusive. The combination of cerebral infarction, a rare condition among children, and CAH might not be accidental but suggests the possibility that CAH itself or treatment with glucocorticoid and/or mineralocorticoid or an inadequate treatment under stressful condition may be the cause of the cerebral infarction.
