Brain Injury and Pituitary Dysfunction
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been known for over 80 years that brain injury may be associated with hypopituitarism, but recent evidence shows an even higher prevalence of anterior pituitary deficiencies than previously thought. A summary of the recent data on the prevalence of anterior pituitary deficiencies in sub-arachnoid hemmorage (SAH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors including the incidence of specific hormonal deficiencies reported is shown in Table 1.

Pituitary Dysfunction after Blast Traumatic Brain Injury: The UK BIOSAP Study
OBJECTIVE Pituitary dysfunction is a recognized consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that causes cognitive, psychological, and metabolic impairment. Hormone replacement offers a therapeutic opportunity. Blast TBI (bTBI) from improvised explosive devices is commonly seen in soldiers returning from recent conflicts. We investigated: (1) the prevalence and consequences of pituitary dysfunct...
متن کاملImpaired Pituitary Axes Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Pituitary dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is significant and rarely considered by clinicians. This topic has received much more attention in the last decade. The incidence of post TBI anterior pituitary dysfunction is around 30% acutely, and declines to around 20% by one year. Growth hormone and gonadotrophic hormones are the most common deficiencies seen after traumatic brai...
متن کاملEndocrine evaluation of patients after brain injury: what else is needed to define specific clinical recommendations?
Brain injury (BI), both head trauma (TBI) and subarachnoid hemorrage (SAH), has consistently been recognized as an important cause of pituitary dysfunction. Different studies have estimated that 20-50% of patients who have suffered BI will develop some degree of hypopituitarism. The high incidence of BI ranks it as potentially the most important cause of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. Alth...
متن کاملEarly CT Signs of Pituitary Dysfunction Following Acute Traumatic Brain Injury
Our study included 106 (46.1%) TBI patients suffered from pituitary dysfunction and 124 TBI patients with normal pituitary function. The differences between HPT and non-HPT were statistically significant in the initial CT scans showing basal fracture, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), brain contusion, epidural hematoma (EDH), subdural hematoma (SDH), and multiple hematoma as well as the midline sh...
متن کاملEndocrine dysfunction following traumatic brain injury: a 5-year follow-up nationwide-based study
Post-traumatic endocrine dysfunction is a complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there is lack of long-term follow-up and large sample size studies. This study included patients suffering from TBI registered in the Health Insurance Database. Endocrine disorders were identified using the ICD codes: 244 (acquired hypothyroidism), 253 (pituitary dysfunction), 255 (disorders of the ...
