He was diagnosed of refractory arterial hypertension and we observed centripetal obesity during exploration. With clinical findings and laboratory studies, ACTH-dependent Cushing\u2019s syndrome due to a pituitary microadenoma was diagnosed and the patient underwent an endoscopic-assisted endonasal transsphenoidal resection. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) revealed spine and hip osteoporosis. Moreover, X-ray, MR and CT showed multiple vertebral osteoporotic compression fractures in thoracic and thoracolumbar area. Secondary kyphosis thoracolumbar deformity and sagittal imbalance was treated by two-level Smith-Petersen osteotomies (SPO) and instrumented posterolateral arthrodesis T10-L3 using fenestrated pedicles screws with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). At six years of follow-up dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) recovered normal values (T-score lumbar spine L2\u2013L4 1.4 and T-score hip -1.9) and X-ray study showed an adequate sagittal vertebral axis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Osteoporosis is a common feature of CD and fractures occur in 30\u201350% of cases. Treating the underlying cause reduces the risk of new fractures. Medical therapy is usually enough but consecutive multiple vertebral fractures related to glucocorticoid excess may lead to secondary painful deformity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Vertebral compression fractures result from secondary corticoid-induced osteoporosis in Cushing\u2019s disease. Early detection and treatment of primary disease decreases the risk of new fractures.
