Article Abstract
Cushing's disease (CD) is characterized by a high rate of hypogonadism and infertility. It is difficult to detect CD in pregnant women who present with symptoms such as weight gain, striae, headache, backache, and pedal edema that overlap with the physiological changes of pregnancy. In this paper, we present three cases of CD likely missed during pregnancy and later also discuss the approach to diagnosis and management of CD in pregnancy.
