Abstract
Introduction: Hypophysitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pituitary gland. It can manifest variously, with endocrinological and neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms and signs, due to the compression of sellar and parasellar structures.
Case representation: Although hypophysitis is rare, this pituitary disease can occur during pregnancy or in the postpartum period. In this report, we describe the case of a woman with partial hypopituitarism secondary to autoimmune hypophysitis who, five years after the diagnosis and the immunosuppressive treatment, had an uneventful pregnancy and successfully delivered a healthy infant at term.
Conclusion: We reported the clinical history of the patient and the evolution of the disease and also reviewed the management and treatment of autoimmune hypophysitis during pregnancy.
