Cushing syndrome during pregnancy is rare but manageable. This case highlights successful management of a pituitary adenoma via transsphenoidal adenectomy after delivery, ensuring positive outcomes for both mother and infant.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Obstetrics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Cushing syndrome, characterized by prolonged exposure to excessive cortisol, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy in women with Cushing syndrome is associated with increased risks for both the mother and the fetus, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and adverse fetal outcomes.
  • Pituitary adenomas are the most common cause of Cushing syndrome, necessitating careful management strategies.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old pregnant female was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome.
  • The pregnancy was complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus, pregnancy-induced hypertension, prematurity, and intrauterine growth retardation.
  • A large pituitary adenoma was identified as the cause of Cushing syndrome.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent transsphenoidal pituitary adenectomy after delivery to remove the pituitary adenoma.
  • Post-operative recovery was successful, with resolution of Cushing syndrome symptoms.
  • Both the mother and the infant were reported to be in good health 10 months following delivery.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates that Cushing syndrome in pregnancy can be effectively managed with a multidisciplinary approach.
  • Timely surgical intervention, specifically transsphenoidal adenectomy, following delivery can lead to favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for mitigating the complications associated with Cushing syndrome during pregnancy.
