Abstract
A case of a woman affected by a nephrotic postnephritic syndrome and treated during pregnancy with cortisone and prednisolone, is reported. The patient delivered at the 40th week of gestation a neonate with no malformations or clinical signs of adrenal deficiency. No interference between corticosteroid therapy and estrogen metabolism was noticed, and the intrauterine fetal growth, evaluated measuring the biparietal diameter, appeared normal.
