Abstract
The authors describe adrenoleukodystrophy and adrenomyeloneuropathy found in one family. This disease is a less frequent cause of Addison's disease, but it is very serious from the prognostic aspect. The authors recommend therefore to examine very long chain fatty acid plasma levels in patients with adrenal insufficiency.
