    Abstract:
    The anesthetic management for left adrenalectomy of a pregnant patient with Cushing's syndrome caused by adrenal adenoma during pregnancy was reported. At 21 week gestation, anesthesia was induced with modified NLA and maintained with nitrous oxide-enflurane-oxygen combined with continuous lumbar epidural anesthesia. Postoperatively, she was delivered a normal, 1990 g infant at 37 week gestation. The present case is believed to be the first reported case of general anesthesia in detail for adrenalectomy in a patient with Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy. The anesthetic management including choice of anesthetics, anesthetic method, intraoperative monitoring, influence of catecholamine, and fetal as well as maternal complication was reviewed from literatures.
