Exclamation TBI and Endocrine Issues
Wow, a new forum. How wonderful! Thankyou, DocJohn!

There were so many posts all over the forums about PCS and I have been wanting to post this article somewhere... here it is. You'll need a Medscape registration. I'll come back and post how to do that in a sec.

I feel this is a very important article.

Evidence from clinical studies has demonstrated that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often the cause of hypopituitarism. Indeed, the risk of TBI-related hypopituitarism is much greater than previously suspected.
Quote:
In conclusion, although TBI is associated with a high risk of hypopituitarism, it is neither practical nor cost-effective to evaluate pituitary function in all patients after head trauma. Until further data become available, therefore, we currently recommend a case-finding approach to select patients for screening of TBI-related hypopituitarism.
