腦外傷併發原發性腎上腺功能不全：病例報告

Abstract

There have been isolated reports in the literature of the natural history and less than complete knowledge of the epidemiology and the pathophysiology of endocrine alteration occurring after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This article describes one primarily adrenal-dysfunction patient with severe TBI who had no evidence of present or prior adrenal autoimmune disease, infection, hemorrhage, or malignancy. It is suggested that this distinct condition can be labeled as ”primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) developing after TBI”.
