Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy: a review of reported cases
Γλώσσες Τεκμηρίου:

Περίληψη:
Cushing's syndrome (CS) causes hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and
anovulatory infertility due to hypercortisolism, and it is very rare in
pregnancy. CS in pregnancy is associated with important maternal-foetal
morbidity and mortality, such as preeclampsia and premature delivery.
A systematic search was conducted in the MEDLINE library to retrieve
articles reporting cases of CS in pregnant women, during the period
between 2010 and 2020.
Thirty-five reported cases are presented focusing on the ability of
diagnosis, treatment therapies, and foetal outcomes. Diagnosis of CS
during pregnancy can be challenging and is often delayed, adrenal
adenoma being the predominant cause. Both medical treatment and surgery
aiming at restoring the cortisol balance reduce maternal and foetal
complications.
