Abstract

Addisonian Crisis is an endocrine emergency requiring hospitalization and urgent management. The diagnosis is usually complicated by nonspecific sign and symptoms of primary adrenal insufficiency. A high degree of suspicion Is required in such cases. Rhabdomyolysis caused by addisonian crisis is a rare complication which was seen in our patient.
