Flashcard 90: What causes the **pituitary gland enlargement** during pregnancy that predisposes to Sheehan syndrome?
_____
Answer: Increased estrogen (causing hyperplasia of prolactin-secreting cells)
Extra: Estrogen stimulates hyperplasia of lactotrophs (prolactin-secreting cells) during pregnancy. This leads to an enlarged pituitary gland that has a high demand for oxygen but a relatively limited blood supply, making it vulnerable to ischemic necrosis (Sheehan syndrome) if there is severe postpartum hemorrhage.
