Abstract

Motherhood is often idealized as a central milestone in the lives of many women. While pregnancy may be a desired outcome for women with Cushing's Syndrome (CS), there is concern that this condition could negatively influence pregnancy, as well as pregnancy interfering with the natural history of CS. This study aims to evaluate the association between CS and pregnancy in terms of hypercortisolism control and maternal and fetal outcomes.
