PURPOSE: To estimate the total number of articles on traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related hypopituitarism and patients (including children and adolescents) with such disorder that were published until now, particularly after the author's review published on April 2000. METHODS: Review of the literature retrievable on PubMed. RESULTS: TBI-related hypopituitarism accounts for 7.2% of the whole literature on hypopituitarism published during the 18 years and half between May 2000 and October 2018. As a result, the total number of patients with TBI-related hypopituitarism now approximates 2200. A number of patients, both adults and children, continue to be published as case reports. Articles, including reviews and guidelines, have been published in national languages in order to maximize locally the information on TBI-related hypopituitarism. TBI-related hypopituitarism has been also studied in animals (rodents, cats and dogs). CONCLUSIONS: The interest for the damage suffered by anterior pituitary as a result of TBI continues to remain high both in the adulthood and childhood.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To estimate the total number of articles on traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related hypopituitarism and patients (including children and adolescents) with such disorder that were published until now, particularly after the author's review published on April 2000. METHODS: Review of the literature retrievable on PubMed. RESULTS: TBI-related hypopituitarism accounts for 7.2% of the whole literature on hypopituitarism published during the 18 years and half between May 2000 and October 2018. As a result, the total number of patients with TBI-related hypopituitarism now approximates 2200. A number of patients, both adults and children, continue to be published as case reports. Articles, including reviews and guidelines, have been published in national languages in order to maximize locally the information on TBI-related hypopituitarism. TBI-related hypopituitarism has been also studied in animals (rodents, cats and dogs). CONCLUSIONS: The interest for the damage suffered by anterior pituitary as a result of TBI continues to remain high both in the adulthood and childhood.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
