ABSTRACT
Allgrove syndrome, also known as Tripple A syndrome is characterized by ACTH-resistant adrenal insufficiency, achalasia of esophagus and alacrima. Since its first description by Allgrove et al. (1978), more than 60 cases from all over the world have been reported. In Korea, however, there was no report of this Allgrove syndrome. We report studies on a 18-year old male patient with this rare triad. The patient had alacrima from birth; isolated glucocorticoids deficiency had been diagnosed at 6 years of age and achalasia at age 18. We report the case with the review of literature.
