[Primary ovarian insufficiency in polyendocrinopathy syndrome].
We describe two cases of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome as a cause of primary ovarian failure. Antibodies against various endocrine organs cause pluriglandular insufficiency, in most cases hypoparathyroidism. Addison's disease, and primary ovarian insufficiency. In these patients, careful examination of all endocrine organs is necessary in order to provide an adequate hormone replacement.
