Diaper dermatit gibi çeşitli cilt hastalıklarının tedavisinde hekimler tarafından sıklıkla kullanılan topikal kortikosteroidler, nadir de olsa Cushing sendromuna neden olabilmekte ve adrenal bezin fonksiyonlarını baskılayabilmektedir. Burada topikal steroid kullanımına bağlı ACTH sekresyonunda baskılanma sonucu adrenal yetmezlik gelişen 5 aylık 2 kız olgu sunulmuştur. Olgular, diaper dermatit nedeniyle 2-5 ay klobetazol 17-propionate %0.05 kullanımını takiben yüzde şişlik ve kıllanma yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Fizik incelemelerinde;1. olguda vücut ağırlığı:5kg (<3p) boy:57cm (<3p), 2. olguda vücut ağırlığı: 6.2kg (3-10p) boy: 59cm (3-10p) saptanmakla birlikte her iki olguda Cushingoid yüz görünümü, yanak ve sırtta hipertrikozis mevcuttu. Laboratuvar incelemesinde; plazma ACTH düzeyi < 10pg/ml (10-42), bazal serum kortizol düzeyi < 1µg/dl bulundu. ACTH uyarı testinde pik plazma kortizolü birinci olguda 6.4 µg/dl, ikinci olguda 3.03 µg/dl olarak ölçüldü. Laboratuvar bulguları adrenal yetmezliği destekleyen hastalara iatrojenik Cushing sendromu tanısı 2konuldu ve 5 mg/m /gün dozunda hidrokortizon tedavisi başlandı. Her iki olguda 3 aylık tedavi ile bazal ve uyarılmış kortizol düzeyleri normale gelirken klinik bulgularında gerilediği görüldü. Özellikle bebeklik döneminde Cushing sendromu bulguları saptanan hastalarda öyküde, kullandığı topikal steroidler irdelenmeli, steroidli kremlerin ciddi yan etkileri aileye anlatılmalı ve uzun süreli kullanımdan kaçınılmalıdır.
Topical corticosteroids, frequently used by physicians in the treatment of various skin diseases like diaper dermatitis, may rarely lead to Cushing's syndrome and suppress ACTH secretion functions of the adrenal gland. In this manuscript, two cases of 5 months old girls, whose adrenal functions were suppressed due to the 0.05% Clobetasol 17-propionate treatment usage, are presented. Subjects admitted with complaints of swollen face and hypertrichosis following the 2-5 months use of Clobetasol 17- propionate for diaper dermatitis. Physical examination revealed that the body weight and height were 5 kg (<3p) and 57 cm (<3p), respectively, in subject 1 and 6.2 kg (3-10 p) and 59 cm (3-10p), respectively, in subject 2. Cushingoid appearance and hypertrichosis of the cheeks and the back were observed in both subjects. Laboratory examination demonstrated plasma ACTH levels of

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
