About the Case Discussion Topic:
Cyclic Cushing Syndrome is a rare form of Cushing Syndrome characterized by intermittent episodes of cortisol excess followed by periods of normal cortisol levels. This cyclical pattern can make diagnosis particularly challenging, as hormone levels may appear normal during testing unless caught during an active phase. The condition may be caused by pituitary adenomas, ectopic ACTH secretion, or adrenal tumors. Symptoms often fluctuate with the cortisol cycles and may include weight gain, hypertension, fatigue, and mood changes. Diagnosis typically requires serial cortisol measurements over time to detect the episodic nature of hormone excess.
