Management of hypopituitarism during pregnancy in patients with PROP1-related combined pituitary hormone deficiency: Review of the literature with a case report

We describe the case of a woman with genetically confirmed PROP1-related CPHD who achieved and completed a successful pregnancy through ART and tailored endocrine management throughout gestation and the postpartum period. This case report highlights the importance of preconception counseling, careful hormone replacement, and close monitoring and collaboration among expert endocrinologists, obstetricians, and neonatologists to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes in women with genetic CPHD. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive literature review exploring key issues related to the main clinical and therapeutic challenges in the management of hypopituitarism during pregnancy, and particularly in the context of CPHD.

Abstract

We describe the case of a woman with genetically confirmed PROP1-related CPHD who achieved and completed a successful pregnancy through ART and tailored endocrine management throughout gestation and the postpartum period. This case report highlights the importance of preconception counseling, careful hormone replacement, and close monitoring and collaboration among expert endocrinologists, obstetricians, and neonatologists to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes in women with genetic CPHD. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive literature review exploring key issues related to the main clinical and therapeutic challenges in the management of hypopituitarism during pregnancy, and particularly in the context of CPHD.
