- <p><span><span>Diseases of the adrenal glands in children are uncommon but clinically significant due to their potential to cause life-threatening metabolic and hormonal disturbances. The adrenal glands play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis through the secretion of </span></span><span><span>glucocorticoids</span></span><span><span>, </span></span><span><span>mineralocorticoids</span></span><span><span>, and </span></span><span><span>catecholamines</span></span><span><span>. Pediatric adrenal disorders include acute and chronic adrenal insufficiency, </span></span><span><span>adrenocortical</span></span><span><span> tumors, and </span></span><span><span>pheochromocytoma</span></span><span><span>. Early diagnosis is often challenging because symptoms are nonspecific and may overlap with other pediatric illnesses. This article reviews the etiology, </span></span><span><span>pathophysiology</span></span><span><span>, clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management of major adrenal gland diseases in children, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and timely treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality.</span></span></p> <div> <div> </div> </div> <p> </p>
