Abstract
Congenital adrenal hypoplasia has been estimated to occur in approxima tely 1 of 12,500 births. Hyperpigmentation associated with this condit ion typically appears gradually during a period of months to years. We describe a newborn infant with profound hyperpigmentation in whom adr enal crisis subsequently developed as a result of congenital adrenal h ypoplasia.
