Abstract

A middle-aged woman presented with history of fatigue, low mood, swelling of limbs, and facial puffiness. On detailed history taking, she also complained of salt craving, secondary amenorrhea, and loss of libido for almost a decade. Investigations revealed pan-hypopituitarism. She was started on appropriate hormonal therapy which saw a rapid resolution of symptoms within 2 weeks. Sheehan's syndrome may have an acute presentation or chronic. The symptoms may be subtle like fatigue or overt like hypotension and syncope. A high degree of suspicion of Sheehan's syndrome is essential for its timely management, and goes a long way in preserving the quality of life.

一名中年女性因疲劳、情绪低落、四肢浮肿和面部浮肿前来就诊。在详细询问病史后，她还抱怨自己近十年来嗜盐、继发性闭经和性欲减退。检查发现她患有泛垂体功能减退症。她开始接受适当的激素治疗，症状在两周内迅速缓解。希恩综合征可能是急性发作，也可能是慢性发作。症状可能是微弱的，如疲劳，也可能是明显的，如低血压和晕厥。高度怀疑 Sheehan's 综合征是及时治疗的关键，对保护患者的生活质量大有裨益。
