[Neurologic side-effects of pharmacologic corticoid therapy].
Many side effects of steroid treatment have been reported. Even experienced neurologists may not know all important side effects to the nervous system. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction, psychosis and myopathy are more frequently encountered than dependency, reversible dementia, brain atrophy and benign intracranial hypertension. This review describes symptomatology, pathogenesis and treatment of these steroid-induced side effects.
