Iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome as a consequence of nasal use of Betamethasone spray during pregnancy.

Until recently "local" administration (inhalation, topical, intra-articular, ocular and nasal) was considered devoid of important systemic side effects, but there is no administration form, dosing or treatment duration for which the risk of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome (CS) and consequent adrenal insufficiency (AI) can be excluded with certainty.

Patients And Methods: We present the case of a pregnant woman who developed overt CS with secondary AI in the second trimester of pregnancy.
