 note = {Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is known to be a big public health problem and a leading cause of secondary hypopituitarism. Although endocrinological dysfunction due to TBI was reported a century ago, a few reports were published until recently. Over the past decade, several reports showed that sports related mild head trauma, concussion, also caused hypopituitarism, especially in boxers, kickboxers, or football players. Several mechanisms of hypopituitarism after TBI have been proposed, such as direct mechanical injury, hemorrhage, hypoxia, or autoimmunity against pituitary gland. This paper reviews the previous reports showing hypopituitarism associated with sport related head trauma, discusses the proposed mechanisms including autoimmunity, and provides a utility to measure anti-pituitary antibodies to find the pituitary autoimmunity in patients who had a history of sport related concussion.},
