Abstract

Cushing's syndrome is extremely rare during pregnancy, because it often causes amenorrhea and infertility. We experienced a case of Cushing's syndrome in the 23rd week of pregnancy receiving laparoscopic surgery. It was difficult to control the blood pressure and heart rate, but we succeeded in the safe management of both mother and fetus.
