Pseudo-Cushing syndrome
Síndrome pseudo-Cushing
CategoryDefinition
This is a condition in which patients display the signs, symptoms, and abnormal hormone levels seen in Cushing's syndrome. However, pseudo-Cushing's syndrome is not caused by a problem with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as Cushing's is; it is an idiopathic condition.
