Abstract
Cushing syndrome (CS) is rare in children. The clinical presentation of CS varies according to extent and duration of glucocorticoid excess, and urolithiasis is a common complication. We report the first case of a patient with CS associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) due to urolithiasis. A 6-year-old boy presented to the Emergency Department with seizure. On physical examination, he had clinical features of CS and high blood pressure. Brain computed tomography (CT) suggested posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome due to hypertension. On evaluation of hypertension, laboratory tests suggested adrenocortical tumor, but abdominal CT suggested pheochromocytoma. During further evaluation, his condition deteriorated with AKI due to bilateral ureteral stones, for which the patient underwent continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit. After controlling hypercortisolism with etomidate and performing ureteral stent indwelling, an adrenal mass was resected and histologically confirmed as an adrenocortical adenoma. We review the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of CS associated with urolithiasis and AKI. Early recognition and careful monitoring of urolithiasis in CS patients are important to avoid severe complications of urolithiasis.
