Course overview
Sheehan Syndrome is a rare postpartum condition caused by ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland due to severe obstetric hemorrhage. The resulting hypopituitarism can affect multiple endocrine axes, including adrenal, thyroid, and gonadal hormones. Early recognition and management are critical to prevent life threatening complications, chronic hormonal deficiencies, and impaired quality of life. This course provides healthcare professionals with a detailed review of Sheehan Syndrome, including pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic testing, pharmacologic therapy, monitoring, and long-term outcomes
