Overview

Common causes of Sheehan's syndrome are including massive hemorrhage, hypotension during pregnancy, vascular compression, and vascular occlusion (thrombosis or disseminated intravascular coagulation). Less common causes are including vascular insufficiency due to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in older patients and snake bites (Russell's viper bites).
