There have been in the past decade a growing number of studies relating head trauma to hypopituitarism. This condition may affect the rehabilitation process, and identification of such patients is therefore required. However, the widely different methods used so far for this purpose have provided inconsistent results. The incidence rate of hypopituitarism has probably been overestimated. This review focuses on the impact of head trauma on pituitary function, the diagnostic method, risk factors, and treatment options.
在过去十年中，越来越多的研究将头部创伤与垂体功能减退联系起来。这种情况可能会影响康复过程，因此需要识别这类患者。然而，迄今为止为此目的所使用的广泛不同的方法得出了不一致的结果。垂体功能减退的发病率可能被高估了。这篇综述重点关注头部创伤对垂体功能的影响、诊断方法、风险因素和治疗选择。
