- Congenital X-linked adrenal hypoplasia is a rare genetic disorder marked by adrenal insufficiency and other varied clinical symptoms.
- A case of a 26-day-old male newborn showed signs of adrenal insufficiency, which prompted hormone testing that revealed elevated ACTH and low aldosterone levels, while tests for other conditions were normal.
- The diagnosis of congenital adrenal hypoplasia was confirmed through expanded genetic testing after detecting cortisol deficiency, highlighting the complexity and need for thorough investigation in such cases.
