Overview
Historical Perspective
Sheehan syndrome was first discovered by Leon Konrad Gliński about a century ago and it was named after Harold Sheehan(1900-1988).[1][2]
Classification
There is no established system for the classification of Sheehan's syndrome.
Pathophysiology
Causes
- Common causes of Sheehan's syndrome include massive hemorrhage, hypotension during pregnancy, vascular compression, and vascular occlusion(thrombosis, DIC). Less common causes include vascular insufficiency due to CABG in older patients and snake bites(Russell's viper bites).
Differentiating ((Page name)) from Other Diseases
- Sheehan syndrome must be differentiated from lymphocytic hypophysitis, pituitary apoplexy, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, panhypopititarism, empty sella syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, Simmond's disease, hypoprolactinemia, menopause,female athlete triadand SAH.[3][4][5]
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The incidence of Sheehan's syndrome is difficult to assess.[6] It was found to be the 6th most common cause of GH deficiency with an incidence of 3.1% of cases.[7] In 2009, the prevalence of Sheehan's syndrome was estimated to be 5.1 per 100,000 women.It is less prevalent in developed countries due to better obstetrical care and maternal health awraeness.[8][9].It is still one of the most common causes of hypopituitarism in developing countries.[9].
