Introduction: Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome 2(APS 2) is immune-mediated destruction that affects two or more endocrine glands and causes a constellation of multiple glands insufficiencies.
Case Presentation: we reported a rare case 9 years old male diagnosed with APS 2; he had adrenal insufficiency three years ago due to leak adherence to hydrocortisone. He was admitted to the hospital for adrenal crises after hemodynamic stability; laboratory evaluation showed that he had Hashimoto's thyroiditis, celiac disease, and the glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD) Anti-islet cell antibodies were positive, so he was also predisposed to DM 1 later.
Triple A syndrome 3A (Allgrove syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive multiorgans dysfunction characterized by alacrima, achalasia which is the absence of esophageal muscle peristalsis and lower sphincter failure to relax and adrenal insufficiency. About third of patient additional features like neurological and autonomic manifestations reported (making the syndrome 4A), the spectrum of neurological symptoms varies including gait disturbances, parkinsonism, muscle wakeness, mental retardation, peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy. Here we reported A 18 years old male, who had postnatal recurrent conjunctivitis so alacrima was diagnosed, in the sventh years he developed achalasia signs; dysphagia and regurgitation and laparscopic surgical myotomy and fundoplication were done, when he became 16 he presented to our clinic for poor appetite, weight loss,and failure to thrive.
