title: A very rare case of Cushing's disease for cesarean section: What the anesthesiololgist needs to know.
abstract: Cushing's syndrome is uncommon in pregnancy, and Cushing's disease being the cause for this syndrome is still rare. We had the opportunity to manage such a patient admitted for cesarean section. Here, we describe the evaluation of a patient with Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy along with its anesthetic implications. By describing this case, we intend to emphasize the role of the anaesthesiologist as a peri operative physician.
