A 7-year-old girl presented with the physical and endocrinological stigmata of Cushing's disease. An adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing pituitary microadenoma was excised. Three weeks after trans-sphenoidal adenomectomy, the patient developed benign intracranial hypertension. Although ACTH levels had decreased to normal, the serum cortisol had fallen to subnormal levels. The child responded to exogenous steroid therapy, which was gradually tapered and discontinued after 5 months. Normal pituitary and adrenal functions persist 2 years later.
一名7岁女孩出现库欣病的身体和内分泌特征。切除了产生促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）的垂体微腺瘤。经蝶窦腺瘤切除术后三周，患者出现良性颅内高压。尽管ACTH水平已降至正常，但血清皮质醇已降至低于正常水平。患儿对外源性类固醇治疗有反应，治疗逐渐减量并在5个月后停药。两年后垂体和肾上腺功能恢复正常。
