Abstract

Postpartum ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland, known as Sheehan's syndrome, is well-established clinical entity. The recent progress in radiological imaging allows an easy and noninvasive study of the pituitary area in the patients while still alive. An empty or partially empty sella is a constant feature of Sheehan's syndrome in the later phase. We report a case of nonhemorrhagic postpartum pituitary infarction documented in the acute phase with clinical, endocrine, and sequential magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies.
