Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in childhood and can induce pituitary defects. Long-term endocrine consequences are missing.Objective and hypotheses: To determine in a prospective way if pediatric patients with a personal history of TBI developed long term pituitary deficiency independently of the results of the early hormonal investigation.Method: Prospective follow-up of an initial cohort of subjects (015...
