Abstract

 Sheehan Syndrome is a rare entity with an incidence of around 3% described from the Indian Subcontinent. It has a variable presentation from an acute catastrophic event like an adrenal crisis to more subtle symptoms like fatiguability. It is invariably associated with deficits in gonadotropic hormones leading to secondary infertility and assisted reproduction. Such pregnancies are considered high risk and require high medical vigilance. The present article discusses similar patient who developed the syndrome following events of her first pregnancy and later conceived with gonadotropin induced ovulation induction.

Keyword: Sheehan's Syndrome; gonadotropin induced ovulation induction.
