Abstract

Sheehan’s syndrome (SS) remains a frequent obstetric complication in emergent and developed countries that to date still reports a relatively high prevalence of moderate to severe postpartum hemorrhage. Sheehan’s syndrome (SS), which is a common cause of parturition related hypopituitarism resulting from postpartum pituitary infarction. It is usually the result of severe hypotension or shock caused by massive hemorrhage during or after delivery. Patients with SS have varying degrees of anterior pituitary hormone deficiency. Several studies have shown that the latent period between symptoms and postpartum hemorrhage can be several years in Sheehan’s syndrome.
