Unusual presentation of Sheehan’s Syndrome with recurrent vomiting: A case report

Abstract

Shechan’s syndrome is often a sequela of massive postpartum hemorrhage in resource-poor developing countries where blood loss during delivery is often neglected. The diagnosis of this rare yet fatal disease is often delayed because the symptoms are vague, insidious in nature and partial deficiencies are often difficult to determine. We report the case of a 30-year-old multiparous female with recurrent vomiting and severe hyponatremia. This report highlights the subtle manifestations of Sheehan’s syndrome to help clinicians establish a prompt diagnosis which can play role in improving the quality of life of the patient while also saving her from impending adrenal crisis.
