The case of a 55-year-old @entity1 with postpartum (at age of 22) @entity4614 is reported. The @entity1 , with signs of @entity3568 , was admitted to a @entity146 hospital for @entity1833 . In addition to routine tests and measurements of thyroid hormones level, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and pituitary region was performed. The results of MRI showed @entity194 and a @entity4776 ". On the basis of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data, a diagnosis of @entity7961 with @entity1375 was achieved. Many hypotheses could be made regarding its pathogenesis. Initially we considered the diagnosis of @entity4614 in which the sella turcica usually presents normal or reduced dimensions. However the presence of a @entity4776 " with thin walls, excludes this diagnosis. The delay of menarche and the short stature suggest the hypothesis of a preexistent pathological condition. It is possible that the @entity1 had liquefied pituitary @entity652 as a consequence of the postpartum shock or that she was @entity1375 , a condition in which the " @entity4776 " is very common.
