A 27-year-old phenotypic female presented with primary amenorrhea, severe hypertension, and hypokalemia. At the age of puberty sexual development had not occurred; in particular, sexual hair had not grown. Past history revealed an episode of subarachnoid hemorrhage and several episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Karyotype was 46, XY. The steroids requiring 17-hydroxylation (cortisol, testosterone, pregnanetriol, 17-ketosteroids, 17-hydroxycorticosteroids) were low, while those not requiring 17-hydroxylation (progesterone, deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone) were high, demonstrating 17-hydroxylase deficiency. The corticosterone/deoxycorticosterone ratio was relatively low, suggesting an associated partial deficiency of 11-hydroxylase.
