Successful management of Cushing's disease during pregnancy by transsphenoidal adenectomy.
Clinical Endocrinology 1987 October
Pregnancy in patients with Cushing's syndrome is rare. It is associated with a high fetal loss, increased frequency of preterm labour and excessive maternal morbidity. We describe a patient who became pregnant while investigations for hypertension were being done. Cushing's disease was diagnosed and the patient had transsphenoidal pituitary surgery at 22 weeks gestation. To our knowledge this is the first time this operation has been done during pregnancy for this condition. Cushing's disease was controlled, but because of worsening hypertension, she had a caesarean section at 30 weeks gestation. Subsequently her blood pressure fell and her hydrocortisone replacement therapy is being withdrawn. Her daughter is now thriving after initial problems with pneumothoraces.
