  • Title: A rare case of pancytopenia causing- Sheehan's syndrome: Case report and literature review.
    Author: Gao XH, Wang Y, Wang RC, -Yuan J, Yang J, Zhang XX, Li J.
    Journal: Clin Case Rep; 2023 Jan; 11(1):e6827. PubMed ID: 36703770.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 58-year-old woman who was presented with pancytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia. Treatment with iron supplementation was not satisfactory. Physical findings and a history of a massive postpartum hemorrhage suggested Sheehan's syndrome(SS). After thyroxine and glucocorticoid replacement therapy, the blood cell count improved. SS is a rare etiology of hemocytopenia, of which hematologists need to be aware. We conclude that hormonal therapy can produce full hematological recovery.
