Aldosterone is an essential hormone plays an important role in the regulation of plasma electrolytes in the body. In case of Pseudohypoaldestronism, resistance to the action of aldosterone will cause certain electrolytes abnormalities in the form of hyponatremia and hyperkalemia associated with dehydration and metabolic acidosis. Skin and ophthalmological manifestations were reported in rare cases to be part of the type one primary inherited Pseudohypoaldestronism and might consider a possible earlyapproach to differentiate this condition from congenital adrenal hyperplasia in the neonatal period. We report a case of Pseudohypoaldestronism in a newborn with a characteristic dermatological rash accompanied the acute attack with an association of a global developmental delay.
