Accepted 27 July 1998
Two cases of Cushing's disease are presented. In both cases
successful treatment was followed by the development of a
steroid-responsive disease condition, a seronegative arthritis in the
first case and retinal vasculitis in the second. It is likely that both
these conditions were unmasked by the fall in the endogenous steroid levels following the successful treatment of the Cushing's disease by
trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy.
