Accepted Answer

Cushing syndrome is a hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol. Symptoms include weight gain, particularly in the face, neck, and trunk (central obesity), thinning arms and legs, a rounded, moon-shaped face, oily skin and acne, and purple stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and breasts. A grossly exaggerated head is not typically associated with Cushing syndrome.
