Abstract

Sheehan's syndrome is thought to be caused by pituitary necrosis associated with massive hemorrhage at delivery. The clinical features of hypopituitarism are often subtle, and years may pass before pituitary insufficiency is recognised following the ischemic insult. The extent of pituitary damage determines the rapidity of onset as well as the magnitude of pituitary hypofunction. Hormone deficiencies include thyroid hormones in half of the cases. We have presented a case of Sheehan's syndrome complicated with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade due to hypothyroidism.

Özet

Sheehan sendromu, doğum esnasındaki masif kanamaya bağlı olarak gelişen postpartum hipofiz nekrozu olarak tanımlanır. Hipopituitarizm bulguları değişken olmakla birlikte subklinik seyrederek iskemik hasardan yıllar sonra pituiter yetmezlik olarak ortaya çıkabilir. Pituiter hasarın yaygınlığı, pituiter yetmezliğin klinik olarak ortaya çıkış hızını etkiler. Tiroid hormon yetmezliği vakaların yaklaşık olarak yarısında görülmektedir.Bu yazımızda, kliniğimizde Sheehan sendromu tanısı almış bir olguda sekonder hipotiroidizme bağlı perikardiyal efüzyon ve kardiyak tamponad gelişimine yer verdik.
