ABSTRACT
This is the first reported case of Allgrove Syndrome in Paediatric Department, S. C. B. MCH in a six years old male child who presented with convulsion and altered sensorium. He had no tears since birth, dysphagia with regurgitation of food and later developed skin hyperpigmentation. Allgrove syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by progressive loss of cholinergic function resulting in alacrimia, achalasia cardia, addison’s disease and autonomic neuropathy. Early diagnosis will lead to significant reduction of morbidity and mortality which is usually due to unrecognized adrenal crisis.
