A member asked:

A child with subclinical cushing syndrome but left untreated till 21yo,growth is affected, is it possible to still grow if treatment given at 21?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very unlikely: The bones- growth plates are fused assuming some form of puberty is achieved in this acse. WE need all labs to assess that. Consulting an endocrinologist is the best.
