Clin Case Rep. 2022 Jun 2;10(6):e05940. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5940. eCollection 2022 Jun.

Abstract

Cushing's syndrome (CS) shows diverse signs such as centripetal obesity, moon face, and buffalo hump, which can complicate the diagnosis. Facial features including eyelid edema, as an underrecognized sign, can be diagnostic clues for an excess of corticoids in a CS patient.

Keywords: Cushing's sign; adrenocorticotropin; cortisol.
