Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is defined as a group of autosomal recessive hereditary diseases, product of the alteration or absence of the necessary enzymes for the synthesis of cortisol in the adrenal cortex, there are five types of deficiencies, the deficiency of 21- hydroxylase corresponds to 95% of the cases. In addition to those enzymatic deficiencies, within the presentations clinics, there are atypical cases, such as the non-losing of sodium, and that was captured in the family medicine outpatient clinic where timely clinical detection is made, but in addition to socio-family factors involved in the outcome, leaving solid evidence of the great importance of transdisciplinary work in primary health care.
