Obstetric Clinical Analysis in 8 Cases With Cushing’s Syndrome
To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis process, treatment process, and obstetric outcomes of pregnant women with Cushing's syndrome, helping to optimize pregnancy management.
Methods
2
A retrospective study was conducted on 8 pregnant women with Cushing’s syndrome who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University between January 2006 and August 2022. The clinical characteristics, management and obstetric outcomes were recorded.
Results
2
Preeclampsia was detected in 4 cases,pre-gestational diabetes mellitus in 2 cases, gestational diabetes mellitus in 5 cases, and hypokalemia in all 8 cases. Elevated serum cortisol, disappearance of day-night rhythm of cortisol, increased 24-hour urine cortisol and decrease in serum ACTH were found in 8 cases by laboratory examination. Furthermore, adrenal adenoma was detected in all 8 cases by ultrasonography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Three cases underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy in the second trimester and 4 cases received surgery after delivery. The diagnosis of adrenal cortical adenoma was confirmed by pathological report. Six cases had preterm birth, while one patient delivered after 37 weeks of gestation and one patient suffered from spontaneous abortion. Among 7 cases of live birth, 6 patients underwent cesarean section and 1 patient had vaginal delivery. Of all newborns, 3 had low birth weight. One case had a birth defect. Four infants were transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit, and two infants died. One child was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome at 2 years of age.
Conclusions
2
Cushing's syndrome is rare and high risk during pregnancy. It requires multidisciplinary diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up. Drug therapy carries a risk of progression and requires intensive care during pregnancy, postpartum follow-up, and specialist treatment.
