Özet
Sheehan’s syndrome occurs as a result of severe postpartum hemorrhage and is characterized by varying degrees of anteriorpituitary dysfunction. It is an important health problem especially for women who deliver at home in developing countries. In thisreport, we presented a 17-year-old female patient who gave her second birth at home. During her delivery severe vaginal hemorrhageoccurred and she applied to a healthcare facility too late. Since then, she hasn’t had menstruation and hasn’t been able to getpregnant. She was diagnosed with Sheehan’s syndrome 16 years after giving birth. The patient didn’t use her medicine regularlyafter the diagnosis because she wasn’t properly informed about the disease, and she has stopped taking it for the last six months.In the current conditions; the 69-year-old patient is presented with hypocortisolemia, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, and advancedosteoporosis. The patient with severe adrenal crisis was taken in treatment by us.
