Cushing disease in children and adolescents - assessment of the clinical course, diagnostic process, and effects of the treatment - experience from a single paediatric centre.

CONCLUSIONS: In each case of the coexistence of growth velocity inhibition (not necessarily short stature) with the weight gain (not necessarily obesity) and the appearance of hyperandrogenism and depressive-anxiety disorders, biochemical diagnostics of CS should be performed. Obesi-ty could be a chronic complication of CD in childhood, even after effective neurosurgery treatment. PMID: 31769271 [PubMed - in process]
