Early severe pre-eclamptic findings in a patient with Cushing's syndrome.
Gynecological Endocrinology 2006 December
Cushing's syndrome occurs rarely in pregnancy because of ovulatory disturbances including anovulation which is caused by hypercortisolism, but it can cause maternal complications such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, spontaneous abortion, premature birth, pre-eclampsia and stillbirth. Herein we present the case of a 22-year-old patient in the 11th week of pregnancy who was admitted to our hospital with Cushing's syndrome complicated by early pre-eclampsia. Severe pre-eclampsia has high maternal and perinatal morbidities, and therefore the possibility of this complication requires that Cushing's syndrome, although rare in pregnancy, be given a high clinical suspicion. Medical therapy and/or surgical therapy should be considered promptly to influence outcome favorably.
