[ case of spontaneous pregnancy with Sheehan's syndrome]

ABSTRACT

Pregnancy in Sheehan syndrome is rare. Pituitary necrosis is sometimes incomplete and some remaining gonadotropic cells may induce ovulations. We report the case of a patient who presented with Sheehan syndrome and received cortisone and thyroxin substitutive therapy but no estrogen-progestogen treatment. One year later, the patient presented with a spontaneous pregnancy which was carried out until term. She delivered a healthy new born who was not breast-fed
