Abstrakt: Allgrove syndrome or Triple-A syndrome is a triad of achalasia, alacrimia, and adrenal insufficiency. It is a rare disease that's only described in the literature with no known incidence rate. Atypical presentation of some cases is rarely seen, especially with monotonous symptoms. We are describing an early age of presentation with dual symptoms of Allgrove Syndrome than the triplet with novel homozygous variant at c.885G>A in the AAAS gene.
