Pituitary insufficiency is an uncommon disorder. The most common cause is compression due to a pituitary mass. Other causes include inflammatory damage and vascular injury like postpartum pituitary apoplexy. Postpartum pituitary apoplexy, also known as Sheehan's syndrome, leads to hormonal deficiencies and causes postpartum amenorrhea, lactational failure, chronic hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, and loss of secondary sexual characters. Here we are discussing the clinical course of 15 female patients of panhypopituitarism. Most of them had a history of postpartum hemorrhage. Knowledge about this entity is essential as it is a treatable condition and ignorance could prove to be fatal.

垂体功能减退是一种罕见疾病。最常见的病因是垂体肿块压迫。其他病因包括炎症损伤和血管损伤，如产后垂体卒中。产后垂体卒中，也称为席汉综合征，会导致激素缺乏，并引起产后闭经、泌乳失败、慢性低钠血症、低血糖以及第二性征丧失。在此，我们讨论15例全垂体功能减退女性患者的临床病程。她们大多数有产后出血史。了解这一疾病很重要，因为它是可治疗的疾病，忽视可能会导致致命后果。
