New Onset

Addison’s disease is often accompanied by a number of cardiovascular manifestations. We report the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with a new onset dilated cardiomyopathy due to Addison’s disease. The clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of this rare hormone mediated cardiac disorder are reviewed.

Early Diagnostic

Addison's disease or primary adrenal insufficiency (hypoadrenocorticism) is an endocrine disease characterized by a deficiency in the production of the adrenal cortex hormones, particularly cortisol and aldosterone. Patients affected by Addison's disease develop anorexia, weight loss, hypoglycemia, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, skin, and mucosal pigmentation. Skin pigmentation is considered a commonly encountered manifestation of the disease; however, oral mucous membrane pigmentation is rarely noticed early enough for diagnosis. This case report demonstrates a case where oral pigmentation was an early diagnostic sign of Addison's disease.

Autoimmune Hypothyroidism

Background: Autoimmune polyglandular syndrometype-2 (APS-2) is an uncommon endocrine disorder of Addison's disease with an autoimmune thyroid disorder and/or type 1 diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis is more challenging when a patient presents with nonspecific neuropsychiatric features with hypothyroidism in the setting of unrecognized Addison's disease. Case report: We report a case of subclinical autoimmune hypothyroidism presented with nonspecific neuropsychiatric symptoms precipitated by stress. Despite levothyroxine treatment, her symptoms deteriorated and she was admitted with persistent vomiting and hypovolemic shock. Clinical features and laboratory parameters were suggestive of underlying adrenocortical insufficiency. Pre-existing autoimmune hypothyroidism combined with Addison's disease confirmed the diagnosis of unrecognized APS-2. She remarkably improved and her thyroid function tests also normalized with the treatment of corticosteroids only. Review of the literature: We identified only five published case reports of our title by searching the database. Neufeld and Betterle have reported their data of APS-2 and concluded that a full-blown clinical picture of two or more components of the syndrome is like the tip of the iceberg. Conclusion : The patients of one major component of APS-2 should be screened for other components of the disease to pick up latent cases. Addison's disease should be ruled out in patients of hypothyroidism who are intolerant to levothyroxine.
