In geriatric patients symptoms of endocrine disorders easily can be regarded to be due to the patient's old age. This is demonstrated in a case of an 80-year-old woman suffering from the combination of adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism. Early recognition of typical clinical signs and adequate, simply performed replacement therapy results in a significant improvement of the patient's quality of life.
Isolated mineralocorticoid deficiency is described in a 5-week-old boy. The deficiency progressed to general adrenal insufficiency during the boy's first year of life. The family history suggested X-linked inheritance. At 18 months of age the patient developed acute bilateral infantile striatal necrosis, which might suggest a possible relationship between both entities.
