The authors discuss some etiologic and clinical aspects of M. Sheehan II based on 2 histologically proven cases. They point out the consecutive connection between the preeclampsia, DIG and the development of the syndrom. The role as starters of some medicaments beside other factors is suggested. The paramount importance of an immediate diagnosis and adequate and correct therapeutic measures, which include a prompt interruption of pregnancy and treatment of the acid-base dysbalance, the renal and haematologic failure is stressed, as well as the prophylactic measures.
