Abstract

Sheehan’s syndrome (SS) is ischaemic necrosis of the pituitary gland due to massive postpartum haemorrhage. The clinical manifestations may vary from subtle to life-threatening and may present immediately after delivery or many years later. We present a case history of a 58-year-old non-diabetic woman who had undetected SS and presented with two unusual manifestations, including recurrent hypoglycaemia and dilated cardiomyopathy 34 years after delivery. The dilated cardiomyopathy reversed partially after treatment.
