Management of giant adrenal pseudocyst in pregnancy - A unique approach and review of literature.

Pseudocysts of the adrenal gland are rare and in the majority of cases are non- functioning. They become symptomatic only when they are complicated by hormonal excess, rupture, haemorrhage or infection. Described here is a 26-year-old woman who developed an acute abdomen at 28 weeks of gestation due to a left adrenal haemorrhagic pseudocyst. A conservative approach was adopted, which was followed by elective term caesarean delivery with surgical intervention at the same time. The described case is unique in terms of strategizing timing and mode of management and thus minimizing the risk of prematurity and maternal morbidity associated with interval surgery.
