Abstract

Antisecretory data shows a highly effective and prolonged blockade of cortisol secretion with osilodrostat. The drawback is the occurrence of adrenal insufficiency (AI) in roughly a quarter of treated patients. In this short manuscript, we report three cases of atypical adrenal insufficiency with osilodrostat.
