- W199793476 abstract "Although loss of normal pituitary function may be silent and asymptomatic, sudden loss of gland function (pituitary apoplexy) typically results in characteristic presentations. Sheehan's syndrome is the development of hypopituitarism after postpartum hemorrhage or shock. Patients with Sheehan's syndrome may have typical or atypical presentations based on the extent of pituitary gland destruction. Patients with typical symptoms fail to lactate after giving birth; subsequently these patients also develop symptoms and signs of hypopituitarism. Measuring the serum prolactin level after giving thyrotropin-releasing hormone is a reasonable first step in the diagnosis of this condition in patients who fail to lactate after giving birth. The diagnosis of hypopituitarism is delayed for up to 7 years in patients with atypical symptoms. Acute symptomatic failure of the pituitary gland (pituitary apoplexy) commonly occurs in patients who have asymptomatic pituitary tumors. Many patients with pituitary tumors do not have signs of abnormal endocrine gland secretion and have a normal appearance. Most patients have the following signs or symptoms: headache; acute disturbances in visual acuity or visual fields; ophthalmoplegia, and changes in the level of consciousness. The syndrome of pituitary apoplexy usually evolves over hours to days. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and acute bacterial meningitis are the two most important mimics of pituitary apoplexy. Intravenous steroids and prompt neurosurgical consultation are mandatory in cases of pituitary apoplexy since both steroids and surgery can improve vision. Testings for acute or chronic hypopituitarism is challenging in the Emergency Department setting; however, carefully chosen tests will aid in the subsequent early correct diagnosis after initial Emergency Department management." @default.
