Spontaneous recovery of steroid‐induced osteopenia

Abstract:  We report a case of an adolescent girl treated with high‐dose oral steroids for prolonged coughing thought to be secondary to unstable asthma. Iatrogenic adrenal suppression led to clinical appearance of Cushing syndrome and associated bilateral early post‐capsular cataracts, slowing of growth velocity and osteopenia. After weaning off steroids, there was a spontaneous increase in aeral lumbar bone mineral density and also catch‐up growth evident over a 5‐year period.
