Successful treatment of atypical hypoadrenocorticism in a cat presenting with hypoglycaemic seizures

There are limited cases of feline hypoadrenocorticism present in the literature, most of which describe cats with both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiency. Only two previous case reports of feline atypical hypoadrenocorticism exist. Only one of these case reports describes hypoglycaemia with signs of neuroglycopaenia on initial presentation. To the author's knowledge, this is the first successfully treated case of atypical hypoadrenocorticism presenting with hypoglycaemic seizures in a cat, demonstrating successful long-term management.

Abstract

There are limited cases of feline hypoadrenocorticism present in the literature, most of which describe cats with both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiency. Only two previous case reports of feline atypical hypoadrenocorticism exist. Only one of these case reports describes hypoglycaemia with signs of neuroglycopaenia on initial presentation. To the author's knowledge, this is the first successfully treated case of atypical hypoadrenocorticism presenting with hypoglycaemic seizures in a cat, demonstrating successful long-term management.
