Hypophysitis is a rare pituitary gland disease primarily seen in females of reproductive age. Patients can present with various non-specific symptoms, which makes diagnosis challenging. Appropriate endocrine workup supplemented with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps establish a diagnosis. We present a case of a 22-year-old postpartum female who came with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Global endocrine insufficiency was seen in the laboratory workup, and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis of hypophysitis. She was treated with steroid and thyroid hormone supplementation.
垂体炎是一种罕见的垂体疾病，主要见于育龄女性。患者可能出现各种非特异性症状，这使得诊断具有挑战性。适当的内分泌检查辅以磁共振成像（MRI）有助于确诊。我们报告一例22岁产后女性病例，该患者因恶心、呕吐和腹痛前来就诊。实验室检查发现全身性内分泌功能减退，MRI确诊为垂体炎。她接受了类固醇和甲状腺激素补充治疗。
