Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 While researching today I came across the following Chronic hypopituitarism after traumatic brain injury: risk assessment and relationship to outcome. MID: 18580806 Neurosurgery. 2008 May;62(5):1080-93; discussion 1093-4. " We sought to define the incidence, risk factors, and neurobehavioral consequences of chronic hormonal deficiencies after complicated mild, moderate, or severe traumatic brain injury....The clinical significance of minor hormonal deficits, which occur in almost 30% of patients, warrants further study " This is an interesting aspect that may account for some dysfunctions..
