| Description |
Proximal muscle weakness is a common finding in patients with Cushings syndrome and can be caused both by hypokalemia and by a direct effect of cortisol on muscle cell protein turnover, producing atrophy. The diagnosis rests on the typical cushingoid habitus, normal serum CK levels, and elevated urinary 24-hour free cortisol levels. It remits with successful treatment of the underlying condition. |
