ABSTRACT

İatrogenic Cushing syndrome is caused by prolonged exogenous administration of glucocorticoid hormones. Long term use of topical corticosteroids, especially in children, may cause Cushing syndrome and suppression of the hypothalamopituitory-adrenal axis, which is less common than that of oral or parenteral usage. Michelin tire baby is a rare genetic disease characterized by generalized skin folding. At birth, circumferential skin fold is a rare sign. In patients one or few folds around the limbs may exist and these folds revealed amniotic band constrictions. . We report this case to highlight that iatrogenic Cushing syndrome in a child can mimic Michelin Tire-Baby syndrome.
