[Clinico-anatomic observations of the Sheehan syndrome with mental disorders].

The author conducted a clinico-anatomical observation of Sheehan's syndrome with characteristic somatic manifestations and patho-anatomical changes in the endocrine glands. The psychic disturbances were expressed in the form of a hallucinatory-paranoid psychosis. The histological study displayed the following significant and extensive changes in the cortex of the hemispheres: a contraction of the nervous cells, including an outcome into lipoid sclerosis and gangliose-cellular vacuums and parenchymatous necrosis.
