To the Editor: Sheehan syndrome is a state of hypopituitarism traditionally associated with necrosis of the anterior pituitary occurring secondary to postpartum hemorrhage. It is not uncommon for the diagnosis to be delayed for months or years in patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms. Although not the classic presentation, Sheehan syndrome may present with psychiatric symptomatology such as psychosis and neurocognitive dysfunction.
