THE ROLE OF NEUROENDOCRINE DISORDERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LONG-TERM OUTCOMES AFTER TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN CHILDREN
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in childhood is associated with a wide range of long-term neurological, cognitive, and somatic consequences. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward neuroendocrine disorders as a key factor influencing delayed and persistent complications after TBI. Damage to hypothalamic–pituitary structures may lead to hormonal dysregulation, which significantly affects growth, metabolism, neurocognitive development, and quality of life in pediatric patients. This article analyzes the role of neuroendocrine disorders in the formation of long-term outcomes after traumatic brain injury in children. The study highlights pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical implications, and the importance of early diagnosis and long-term endocrine monitoring.
