Cushing's syndrome and pregnancy.
Women with active Cushing's syndrome rarely conceive. Only about 69 pregnancies have been reported in women with Cushing's syndrome, 60 of whom had maternal and fetal complications. Fourteen of the women have had therapy with unilateral adrenalectomy, bilateral adrenalectomy, pituitary surgery with selective adrenomectomy, or pituitary radiation.
