Abstract

The problems associated with hyperandrogenism are not uncommon in primary care settings. In fact, polycystic ovary syndrome, a common cause of androgen excess, exists in 5% to 10% of women during their reproductive years, with onset typically in adolescence. The subject of this column is the AACE's Hyperandrogenism Guidelines, which review the evaluation and treatment of the disorders causing androgenic excess.

Achalasia--alacrima--ACTH insensitivity syndrome (Triple A syndrome).

Triple A syndrome is characterized by achalasia of the cardia, alacrima, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) resistant adrenal insufficiency and progressive neurological abnormalities including autonomic nervous dysfunction. An 8-year-old girl presented to the pediatric intensive care unit with sudden loss of consciousness and was diagnosed subsequently to have this condition. The authors present this condition since it is easily treatable and can be fatal if undiagnosed.
