Brain structural abnormalities are often observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of Cushing's syndrome patients, but the pathogenesis is not fully understood. To understand the relationship between brain structural abnormalities and potential risk factors in active Cushing's disease (CD) patients, a total of 101 treatment-naive CD patients and 95 sex-, age- and education matched controls with non-functioning adenomas (NFA) underwent clinical evaluation and MRI investigation, and the relative risk factors were analyzed. 14 patients in sustained remission after transsphenoidal surgery were followed. Compared with the NFA subjects, the patients with CD had more cortical (P
