does
does anyone know if its the ant. or the post. pitutary (or both) that infarct in Sheehans? (Given that the post. is an extension of the brain, which I dont think gets affected in sheehans?)


 * Both lobes may be affected, as the vascularisation is the same. I have no numbers as to whether anterior or posterior hypopituitarism is more common. JFW | T@lk  02:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Sheehan's affects the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary). The neurohypophysis does not depend on the portal system and supposedly can maintain perfusion better in this situation. To this end, I removed the "citation needed" marker after the statement about pituitary blood supply. Accepted anatomic knowledge doesn't need citation.

This disease is not named after Cindy Sheehan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.185.73.69 (talk) 23:46, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Simmonds Syndrome Loop improper
In my opinion, the link at the bottom of the page to Simmonds Syndrome should not link back to this page. Virtually all the info on this page relates to Sheehan's syndrome, which is related to pregnancy. Simmonds Syndrome is unrelated to pregnancy, and the link should either link to an actual page about Simmonds Syndrome, or be a "page does not exist" link. My two cents.

 * Peer Review for WikiProject Medicine Course January 2023
 * In the signs and symptoms section, there are a lot of comparisons to other disease processes. While I understand that hypopituitarism would present with hormonal deficiencies of those syndromes, consider removing the compared syndrome and simply talking about the signs/symptoms associated. I feel this will make this section less medical jargon-y. Also there is a quote in the second paragraph. I am not sure if this was just impossible to paraphrase or just made more sense this way but you may want to try to think of removing this.
 * In the causes section, consider moving the small part of the first paragraph discussing physiologic pituitary growth to the pathophysiology section. I think it is hard to differentiate what should go where but discussing what specific cells grow more and why might be better suited for pathophysiology.
 * In the pathophysiology section, there is another quote which may be better taken out and paraphrased appropriately for wikipedia if possible. Just as an idea, an image of the vasculature supplying the pituitary may be good here since you discuss the blood supply a lot. I would consider moving the discussion of autoimmune causes to a research section.
 * In the treatment section, I feel that the statement regarding glucocorticoids needs a specific citation since it seems that it is discussing a little more than basic hormone replacement.
 * In the history section, there are a few sentences that need citations. I would assume they come from the same place as the rest of the section but they should be added at the end of each section.
 * Lastly, I know you had the problem of reference duplication so I took the liberty of manually fixing them. Hope it stays that way. Great job on the edits you've done. JackNagam (talk) 16:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate the feedback, and did my best to incorporate it. I am even more grateful for your help with editing my references!! Thank you! Burkin202 (talk) 03:33, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
