RESUMEN
La disminución brusca de concentraciones plasmáticas de corticoides puede producir un auténtico síndrome de abstinencia similar al que se produce con cualquier droga. Presentamos el caso de una mujer con síndrome de abstinencia tras el tratamiento quirúrgico de un síndrome de Cushing, que no fue identificado, por lo que se mantuvo de forma innecesaria el tratamiento con glucocorticoides (AU)
ABSTRACT
Sharp reductions in plasma corticosteroid levels can produce a genuine withdrawal syndrome similar to that induced by withdrawal of any other drug. We describe the case of a woman who, after undergoing surgical treatment for Cushing's syndrome, suffered from a withdrawal syndrome. Because this syndrome was not identified, the patient was unnecessarily maintained on glucocorticoid treatment (AU)
