Traumatic brain injury induced neuroendocrine changes: acute hormonal changes of anterior pituitary function
2019
Purpose
It is estimated that approximately 69 million individuals worldwide will sustain a TBI each year, which accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality in both children and adults. TBI may lead to significant neuroendocrine changes, if the delicate pituitary is ruptured. In this review, we focus on the anterior pituitary hormonal changes in the acute post-TBI period and we present the evidence supporting the need for screening of anterior pituitary function in the early post-TBI time along with current suggestions regarding the endocrine assessment and management of these patients.
