| Abstract |
|
A 14 year old girl was admitted because of severe obesity, respiratory difficulty and
weakness of legs with edema. Diagnosis of Cushing* s syndrome by left adrenal adenoma was
made by hormonal assay, abdominal C-T and surgery.
1 week after adrenalectomy, she developed paraplegia which was caused by massive
deposition of fat in the spinal epidural space and compression of thoracic spinal cord.
She was successfully treated by left adrenalectomy and total laminectomy of T2 to T9
vetebra with removal of epidural fat pad and has been followed up with gradual improve-
ment in walking, Cushingoid appearance for the next 4 months and she recovered completely
11 months after operation.
