title: Successful use of continuous subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion after bilateral adrenalectomy secondary to bilateral pheochromocytoma.
abstract: We report the use of continuous subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion in an adolescent patient with primary adrenal insufficiency. This novel hydrocortisone delivery method proved to be a feasible, well-tolerated and safe option for selected patients with poor response to conventional therapy.
