| Abstract |
Intracranial hypertension (IH) has been associated with hypocortisolism caused by either primary adrenocortical insufficiency or corticosteroid withdrawal. The authors describe a case of IH in association with Sheehan syndrome (SS) in a postpartum 29-year-old woman. The clinical manifestations of IH resolved with corticosteroid replacement. This case supports a causal role of hypocortisolism in IH. The authors are unaware of previous reports of hypocortisolism caused by SS leading to IH. |
