Book Description
Sheri Kashmir institute of medical sciences ( SKIMS) is a tertiary care center in Kashmir state of North India. SKIMS is a 700-bedded, teaching hospital in the Kashmir Valley, and most patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the Valley and adjoining areas get referred to this largest tertiary care Centre in the Northern Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir. That hypopituitarism is a clinical condition much more common than previously thought. Considering the epidemiology of TBI (traumatic brain injury) and percentage of related hypopituitarism, we are facing a disease that is far more common than perceived one. Even if data on TBI related hypopituitarism is increasing, it remains largely under diagnosed, mostly due to lack of awareness among physicians likely to see patients suffering from it. Thus, in neuro-rehabilitation, it is difficult to recognize post traumatic hypopituitarism in patients after TBI. Thus, it is recommended that active collaboration between endocrinologists, neurosurgeons and rehabilitation physicians be created to provide maximal care to these patients. We should continue to make efforts to more clearly define the population at greatest risk of developing TBI induced hypopituitarism.
