ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There is no report on case of severe acute hyperlipidemic pancreatitis after treatment of Sheehan's syndrome.METHODS:
A 32-year-old female patient was diagnosed as having acute hyperlipidemic pancreatitis after treatment of Sheehan's syndrome, and treated with diet and lipid-lowering agents in early stage.RESULTS:
Abdominal pain and fever of the patient resolved within a few days. She was subjected to diet and oral lipid-lowering therapy on the 4th day after admission. The disease did not recur during the follow-up for more than one year.CONCLUSIONS:
Estrogen replacement therapy should be prescribed for Sheehan's syndrome. The serum level of triglyceride should be monitored and treatment should be given to prevent severe acute pancreatitis. Lipid-lowering therapy in early stage is the key step towards a complete recovery.
