Özet
Allgrove syndrome is a very rare seen disorder with an autosomal recessive trait. The three
characteristics of disease are alacrima, achalasia and adrenal failure. Alacrimia is the first
manifestation in most cases. Achalasia and adrenal failure are seen later. Neurological
involvement is rare and usually occurs in older age. A woman 22 years old admitted to our
hospital with adrenal failure crisis. She had alacrimia and used teardrop for many years.
Achalasia was diagnosed after evaluation of her dysphagia. Thus, diagnosis of Allgrove
syndrome was done. Autonomic cardiac dysfunction and peripheral motor neuropathy were
detected. In conclusion, Allgrove syndrome is rare and has life threatening potential due to
adrenal failure. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment may improve life quality and
expectancy. Patients with relevant symptoms should be evaluated for autonomic neuropathy.
