RESUMEN
El síndrome de Cushing endógeno es una de las enfermedades más difíciles de estudiar,
dado que sus diferentes etiologías requieren una cuidadosa valoración diagnóstica desde el punto de
vista clínico, bioquímico y radiológico. Con frecuencia, las características clínicas se solapan con las de
enfermedades comunes y algunos pacientes tienen una presentación atípica. Una vez se establece la
sospecha clínica, las pruebas bioquímicas de tamizaje permiten definir si existe un estado de hipercortisolismo
endógeno; en caso afirmativo, el estudio prosigue con pruebas de laboratorio que ayudan a
localizar la causa de la hipercortisolemia. En este punto es fundamental determinar si se trata de un
síndrome de Cushing dependiente o no dependiente de hormona adrenocorticotrópica (ACTH) y en
caso que sea dependiente, diferenciar entre origen hipofisario y un origen ectópico de la enfermedad.
Dicha situación se puede resolver mediante el cateterismo y muestreo de los senos petrosos inferiores,
el cual es un procedimiento invasivo y sensible para el diagnóstico diferencial entre el tumor hipofisario
y el tumor ectópico secretor de ACTH. En este artículo se revisarán los aspectos generales del diagnóstico
del síndrome de Cushing endógeno y luego se presenta una amplia descripción acerca del uso del
muestreo venoso central en el subgrupo de pacientes con la forma dependiente de ACTH.
