Overview
The incidence of Sheehan's syndrome is difficult to assess.[1] It was found to be the 6th most common cause of GH deficiency with an incidence of 3.1% of cases.[2] 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.[3][4].It is still one of the most common causes of hypopituitarism in developing countries.[4].
