Article Synopsis
- * Surgical intervention involved near-total tumor resection, and histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of anaplastic meningioma (WHO Grade III) with severe features such as necrosis and brain invasion.
- * Post-surgery, the patient showed marked improvement in neurological functions, suggesting that surgical removal can potentially reverse deficits associated with Gerstmann syndrome, with no recurrence reported in a two-month follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to endocrine issues, particularly dysfunction of the pituitary axis, with a prevalence of about 33% according to the review of 52 studies and 7367 participants.
- The study investigated the onset and prevalence of these dysfunctions over time, revealing that rates vary depending on the time since injury: highest in the first 3 months and somewhat consistent beyond one year.
- Specific hormone deficiencies identified included Growth Hormone (18%), adrenocorticotropic hormone (10%), pituitary-gonadal hormones (16%), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (6%), indicating that ongoing monitoring of these hormone levels is essential for individuals recovering from TBI.
