Research into endocrine sequelae following injury has gained attention; however, there are few studies in children. This paper reviews the pathophysiology and current literature documenting risk for endocrine dysfunction in children suffering from TBI. Primary injury following TBI often results in disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and antidiuretic hormone production and release, with implications for both acute management and survival. Secondary injuries, occurring hours to weeks after TBI, result in both temporary and permanent alterations in pituitary function. At five years after moderate to severe TBI, nearly 30% of children suffer from hypopituitarism. Growth hormone deficiency and disturbances in puberty are the most common; however, any part of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis can be affected. In addition, endocrine abnormalities can improve or worsen with time, having a significant impact on children\u2019s quality of life both acutely and chronically. Since primary and secondary injuries from TBI commonly result in transient or permanent hypopituitarism, we conclude that survivors should undergo serial screening for possible endocrine disturbances. High indices of suspicion for life threatening endocrine deficiencies should be maintained during acute care. Additionally, survivors of TBI should undergo endocrine surveillance by 6\u201312 months after injury, and then yearly, to ensure early detection of deficiencies in hormonal production that can substantially influence growth, puberty and quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm4081536","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]],"date-time":"2015-07-31T10:12:24Z","timestamp":1438337544000},"page":"1536-1560","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Update of Endocrine Dysfunction following Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Kent","family":"Reifschneider","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital of The Kings Daughters, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk,  Virginia, VA 23507, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bethany","family":"Auble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, WI 53226, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Rose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, MD, 3333 Burnet Avenue, MLC 7012, Cincinnati, OH 45229, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Faul, M., Xu, L., Wald, M.M., and Coronado, V.G.
