Contents 1 Causes 2 Pathophysiology 3 Eponym 4 References 5 External links Causes It is a rare complication of pregnancy, usually occurring after excessive blood loss; the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation i.e., in amniotic fluid embolism or HELLP syndrome also appears to be a factor in its development. Pathophysiology Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of lactotrophs during pregnancy results in the enlargement of the anterior pituitary, without a corresponding increase in blood supply. Secondly, the anterior pituitary is supplied by a low pressure portal venous system.1 These vulnerabilities, when affected by major hemorrhage or hypotension during the peripartum period, can result in ischaemia of the affected pituitary regions leading to necrosis. The posterior pituitary is usually not affected due to its direct arterial supply. Eponym It is named for Harold Sheehan.23 References ^ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=endocrinpart=A1257 under heading Sheehan's syndrome ^ synd/2009 at Who Named It ^ H. L.
