Sheehan's syndrome is a pituitary necrosis after postpartum haemorrhage and hypovolaemia [ 1]. It is mainly diagnosed retrospectively, sometimes after a delay of several years, as a classical cause of hypopituitarism [ 2].
In the acute phase, symptoms suggestive of a sellar mass apoplexy, such as headaches or visual field impairment, might be present, but very few cases had been documented. Similarly, CT scans or MRI studies of the pituitary gland have generally been done in the later course of Sheehan's syndrome and have shown a small sellar volume or an empty sella [ [3][4]3–5]. Very few observations of CT or MRI features in the acute phase are available [ 6].t.
