This narrative review systematically examines the mechanisms, complications, and management of obesity in patients with Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CCAH), a condition primarily resulting from 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The review reveals that obesity in CCAH arises from a complex interplay of factors, including supraphysiological glucocorticoid replacement therapy and the inherent metabolic disturbances of the disease itself. For a diabetologist and leader in metabolic care, this synthesized analysis is crucial, as it highlights the need for integrated management strategies that address both the adrenal disorder and its metabolic sequelae, particularly in a population at high risk for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease.
