ABSTRACT

Purpose: Sheehan's syndrome (SS) is a disorder resulting secondary to ischemic pituitary insufficiency due to excessive blood loss during and after delivery. Patients with SS may be presented with various symptoms ranging from nonspesific symptoms (fatigue and weakness) to severe pituitary insufficiency that can lead to coma and even death. We presented in this report an elderly patient who admitted to our clinic with panhypopituitarism diagnosed as SS nearly 40 years after delivery.

Keywords: Sheehan's syndrome, fatigue and weakness.
