ABSTRACT
Major known causes of neonatal adrenal insufficiency are prolonged maternalsteroid use, adrenal hemorrhage from the perinatal stress and adrenogenital syndrome. Theoretically adrenal aplasia might be a cause of neonatal adrenal insufficiency but it has not been reported yet. We had experienced a case of adrenal aplasia in a 5 day-old male neonate whose chief complaint was hyperpigmentation. His laboratory findings were compatible with adrenal insufficiency and adrenal gland was not detected by the ultrasonography and thin section abdominal CT. We reported a case of adrenal aplasia with a brief review of the related literature.
