Abstract

A 34-year-old woman was diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome after her first pregnancy ended in intrauterine fetal death at 25 weeks' gestation. She subsequently had a successful pregnancy after treatment of her disease. Although patients with Cushing's syndrome rarely conceive, abortion, preterm labor, and intrauterine growth retardation are common when they do.
