Abstract

With increasing use of intranasal steroids for a wide range of pediatric upper airway disorders, the potential for iatrogenic CS with these agents should be considered. We describe a case of a 7-month-old infant who developed CS secondary to intranasal use of dexa-methasone. Written informed consent was obtained from the parents for publication of this case report.
