ABSTRACT

Pregnancy in the course of Cushing syndrome is not frequent, as well as the contrary case, in other words, that diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome be made during pregnancy. However, it is possible. This is a clinical case of a female patient aged 28 with a cortical adenoma of the right suprarenal gland producing cortisol, which in the course of her disease became pregnant. We decide the termination of pregnancy due to mother-fetus risk. Over the course of Cushing's syndrome there was steroid psychosis requiring drug therapy. After the adrenalectomy threw was a remission of clinical and biochemical picture. Thus, it is necessary to alert the medical community to insist in preconception control of these patients.
