Aseptic necrosis of head of femur: presenting manifestation in Cushing's disease.

Aseptic necrosis of bone is a known complication of corticosteroid therapy. We report a case of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head as a presenting symptom of Cushing's disease. The case demonstrates that endogenous steroids, like exogenous steroids, may bear the same relationship to the pathogenesis of aseptic necrosis of bone. It also indicates that Cushing's disease must be considered in every case of so-called idiopathic aseptic necrosis of bone.
