Moon face, or moon facies[1], is a medical sign where the face swells up into a rounded shape.
It is often associated with Cushing's syndrome, which has led to it being known as Cushingoid facies ("Cushings-like face"), or steroid treatment, which has led to the name steroid facies.[citation needed]
