pubmed:abstractText
A 22-year old woman in the 37th week of her third pregnancy (twins) developed acute fatty liver complicated with a haemorrhagic syndrome from disseminated intravascular coagulation. Two normal girls were delivered by caesarean section. Persistent surgical bleeding required hysterectomy and a short stay in an intensive care unit. The disseminated intravascular coagulation subsided within 8 days. Three weeks after delivery a pituitary insufficiency (Sheehan's syndrome) was diagnosed. A second liver biopsy showed that the lesions had regressed. One week after delivery, the patient developed polyuria and polydipsia. The diagnosis of diabetes insipidus was confirmed by the lack of increase of plasma antidiuretic hormone level during an 8-hour water deprivation test. The pathophysiology of these different syndromes is discussed. Disseminated intravascular coagulation might be the link between hypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus.
