    Cushing's syndrome
Approximate Synonyms
  • Nelson syndrome
Clinical Information
  • A syndrome characterized by hyperpigmentation, enlarging pituitary mass, visual defects secondary to compression of the optic chiasm, and elevated serum acth. It is caused by the expansion of an underlying acth-secreting pituitary adenoma that grows in the absence of feedback inhibition by adrenal corticosteroids, usually after adrenalectomy.
  • A syndrome that develops following bilateral adrenalectomy for cushing syndrome. The signs and symptoms result from the presence of an adenocorticotropin-secreting pituitary gland adenoma, and include enlargement of the sella turcica and pressure on the adjacent structures, and skin hyperpigmentation.
ICD-10-CM E24.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
  • 643 Endocrine disorders with mcc
  • 644 Endocrine disorders with cc
  • 645 Endocrine disorders without cc/mcc
