A 36-year-old woman, who had experienced cesarean section in her first pregnancy and her second pregnancy had occurred despite the Intrauterine Device (IUD), was referred to the hospital. The results of routine pregnancy tests and screening tests indicated normal general conditions. At the 12th week of pregnancy, the first manifestation of blood pressure was observed. During the pregnancy, the patient was constantly monitored and, finally, at the 34th week, she underwent cesarean section due to the severity of symptoms, cesarean section history, and delayed fetal infarction. A boy was born, weighing 1700 grams and was hospitalized in the NICU ward. Regarding the lack of control of blood pressure after pregnancy, an abdominal MRI was asked for the patient to examine the renal artery; a 3cm mass was reported in her right adrenal, and a diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome was presented to her. The right laparoscopic adrenalectomy was conducted for the patient and gradually the Corton intake was stopped. After the recent procedures, all of the patient’s symptoms, including hypertension, edema, proteinuria, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia were resolved. Proximal muscles pain and weakness remained about 1 year after her laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and they were improved by physiotherapy. Conclusion: Secondary hypertension can occur due to Renovascular hypertension, pheochromocytoma, and Cushing’s syndrome. Although Cushing's syndrome is rare in pregnancy, these cases can be accompanied by hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm labor, and fetal loss. Therefore, a more complete assessment and attention to important symptoms such as blood pressure is necessary to prevent the complications. M3 10.29252/sjrm.2.2.85 ER -
