Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate whether chronic hypercortisolemia is specifically toxic to hippocampal cells and causes structural reduction of hippocampal volume in patients with Cushings syndrome

II Determine whether reduced hippocampal volume is associated with specific memory dysfunction

III Examine the relationships of adrenal androgen to hippocampal volume and memory dysfunction

IV Examine the reversibility of hippocampal structural changes and cognitive dysfunction after cortisol levels are normalized
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients undergo a psychiatric evaluation for mood and cognition during confirmation of diagnosis Neuropsychologic exams include pencil and paper test and a cognitive assessment

Endocrine studies include dexamethasone and corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulation tests The hippocampal complex volume is assessed with coronal magnetic resonance imaging

There is a follow-up 1 year after the initiation of treatment
