Abstract

Topical steroids are widely used by dermatologists and other physicians for the treatment of skin diseases such as diaper dermatitis. Here, we report a 4 month-old boy with Cushing syndrome that was developed secondary to potent topical corticosteroid diflucortolon valerate use for only 3 days. We tried to warn the physicians about the warning signs of Cushing syndrome in patients who suffer from regional obesity, and emphasized the importance of expla- nation of the usage, and duration of treatment while presc- ribing topical steroid creams especially during infancy

Özet

Topikal steroidler diyaper dermatit gibi birçok deri hasta- lığının tedavisinde dermatologlar ve doktorlar tarafından yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Burada yalnızca 3 gün gibi kısa sürede güçlü topikal steroid diflukortolon valerat kullanımı sonucu Cushing sendromu gelişen 4 aylık erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Bölgesel obezite yakınması olan hasta- larda Cushing sendromunun bulguları ve sütçocukluğu döneminde topikal steroid reçete edilirken doktorların dikkatli olmasını, kremin kullanım şekli ve süresinin anla- tılmasının önemini vurgulamaya çalışılmıştır
