Abstract
Isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency was documented after cesarean delivery in a patient with type I diabetes. A preceding severe headache, subsequent declining insulin requirements, and hypotension are consistent with pituitary infarction in a patient without computed tomography evidence of a pituitary tumor. Antepartum incomplete pituitary infarction with isolated ACTH deficiency is an unusual but potentially catastrophic complication of the pregnant diabetic.Entities:
