A patient with early infantile galactosialidosis presenting as congenital adrenal hyperplasia with clitoral hypertrophy and arterial hypertension is reported. Serum 17-alpha-OH-progesterone and plasma renin levels were elevated. Adrenal hyperplasia and thickening of the cardiac septum were detected by sonography; however, progressive hepatosplenomegaly, increasingly coarse features, and vacuolization of bone marrow and liver cells suggested a storage disorder. Combined deficiency of beta-galactosidase and sialidase enzyme activity in both lymphocytes and cultured fibroblasts was detected. This patient with early infantile galactosialidosis is the first reported who presented with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
