Cases of refractory shock in young people are not common and they may have unusual underlying precipitants. Addison's disease is a rare endocrine condition and even rarer when it exists in combination with another autoimmune endocrine deficiency. We report a case of adrenal crisis in a young patient not known to suffer from Addison's disease. Despite prolonged resuscitation with consideration of uncommon precipitants, this patient died. We review the literature on Addison's disease and adrenal crises and discuss the relevant clinical features of this case.

Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening medical emergency and can arise in many clinical situations. We present the case of a 59-year-old man with adrenoleukodystrophy and Addison’s disease who was admitted to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain that turned out to be cardiac tamponade of unknown aetiology.  An association between cardiac tamponade and Addison’s disease has been reported in the literature, so this aetiology should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with unexplained cardiac tamponade.
