Pertrochanteric fracture in case of Sheehan syndrome: A rare case report

Sheehan's syndrome is caused by ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland following hypo-perfusion to the pituitary gland. The prevalence is around 3.2% in women <40 years of age and is relatively common in developing countries. The diagnosis is made with the help of a suggestive obstetric history, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings of reduced hormone levels, and pertinent radiological features. The treatment is to replace the patient with deficient hormones and prevent the complications associated with it. We present the management of a patient with Sheehan's syndrome with pertrochanteric fracture due to the rarity of its presentation. The patient underwent the insertion of a proximal femur nail under closed reduction and achieved optimum results post operatively. As such no case reports with these findings have been documented in the literature or online sources.
