Cirugía transesfenoidal en enfermedad de Cushing durante gestación: Report of one case

We report a 26 years old female with Cushing's disease who became pregnant during the course of her disease. She was treated by transsphenoidal surgery during the second trimester of pregnancy, achieving resolution of hypercortisolism. She had a normal delivery at term, her offspring was healthy, and she had a normal lactation. Currently, five years after surgery, she is asymptomatic. According to our literature review, this patient is the fifth reported case of pituitary adenomectomy during gestation (Rev Méd Chile 2004; 132: 75-80)
