Cushing's disease in pregnancy.
Cushing's disease in pregnancy is rare and is associated with an increased incidence of maternal morbidity, premature delivery, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths. We report a successful term pregnancy in a patient with Cushing's disease due to a pituitary microadenoma. The literature is reviewed.
