Addison's disease - It is caused by inadequate secretion of hormones by the adrenal cortex.

Tetany - It is caused by malfunction of the parathyroid glands and a consequent deficiency of calcium.

Acromegaly - It is caused by overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Acromegaly means the abnormal growth of the hands, feet, and face.

Myxoedema - It is associated with severe hypothyroidism and lack of thyroid hormone in the adult. It is swelling of the face.
