| Popis: | Three cases of Cushing's syndrome in infancy are described, and the x-ray changes found in previous case reports are reviewed. Atrophy of the thymus associated with excessive deposits of fat and atrophy of muscles in the extremities appear to be characteristic of this age group. When seen in combination with osteoporosis and retarded bone maturation, Cushing's syndrome should be suggested. Definitive diagnosis requires an endocrinological evaluation combined with investigation of the adrenal glands by excretory urography, selective angiography, and/or retroperitoneal air insufflation. |
