The syndrome includes two disorders inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion - familial glucocorticoid deficiency and triple A syndrome. Herein, we report our experience of three cases with ACTH resistance syndrome, highlighting the approach to diagnosis and management in such patients.<br />Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
