Overview

Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome is a medical condition in which patients display the signs, symptoms, and abnormal hormone levels seen in Cushing's syndrome. Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome, however, is not caused by a problem with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as Cushing's is. It is an idiopathic condition.
