Absolutely they can, but peds paitients typically only make up about 10% of what is a very rare disease to begin with. My 5 and 1/2 year old daughter underwent a bilateral adrenalectomy at the National Institutes of Health in April this year (09) for cushing's disease. Her doctor, Constantine Stratackis, is the leading peds Doctor Who deals with this disease. It can be very difficult to diagnose (took us three trips and 29 days), but can be cured by treatment. You can go to www.csrf.net for more information on cushing's disease.
no, because Cushings disease is when your adrenal glands secrete to much cortosol. Addison's disease is when your adrenal glands sucrete to little cortisol.
hypersecretion of thyroxine leads to grave disease, thyrotoxicoises
It happens, and can be the result of cushings disease which is the opposite of addisons, but this type is caused by the drugs treating the cushings. this link will help you http://www.caninecushings.net/forums

Cushings can be deadly if not treated. GO GET TREATED!
A pituitary tumor can cause Cushings, however a swelling that compresses the pituitary most usually will cause decreased function, not increased function as seen in Cushings. If the pituitary hormones that direct the adrenals fail, it is called Addisons' Disease.
Cushing's Disease is a tumour which is non-cancerous and can be treated either by surgery or medication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushings_disease
