Abstract

The adrenocortical insufficiency may mimic an acute surgical abdomen. We report the case of 20-year-old patient, who presented abdominal pain syndrome, associated with isolated moderate hyponatremia (135 mmol/l). The first diagnostic given is an appendicular syndrome, and she underwent surgery. Given the persistence of abdominal pain syndrome and hyponatremia (133 mmol/l), adrenocortical insufficiency was sought. The follow-ups were simple after the introduction of replacement therapy.
