Özet

Background: Isolated deficiency of glucocorticoids is characterized by elevated levels of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and normal aldosterone production. It is rare for isolated deficiency of glucocorticoids to be associated with liver involvement. A case of an infant with isolated deficiency of glucocorticoids presenting with cholestasis is presented in this article. A male infant on his 39th postnatal day was referred to our hospital for evaluation of prolonged jaundice and convulsion. He had two episodes of hypoglycemic convulsion on postnatal 8th and 39th day, after which he was admitted to our hospital.
