Clinical Rheumatology, 10/22/09
Berger J et al. – The authors report the case of a 55–year–old male with flexion contractures of the hips and the knees due to an isolated adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) deficiency, a rare cause of secondary adrenal insufficiency. The aetiology of the flexion contractures in adrenal insufficiency is still unclear. The authors want to draw attention to adrenal insufficiency as the cause of unexplained flexion contractures.
