Adrenal insufficiency cases may either present with adrenal crisis (characterized by life-threatening hypotension, shock) or nonspecific symptoms. It is vital to diagnose and treat patients before adrenal crisis, which is associated with high mortality and morbidity. With this report, it is aimed to emphasize adrenal insufficiency in the childhood age group via description of a 16-year-old girl who developed symptoms of excessive weight loss, skin darkening and weakness while being followed-up due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis and was eventually diagnosed with Addison's disease.
