AbstractPatients recovering from aneurysmal SAH often complain about weakness, fatigue and impaired cognitive skills. Pituitary dysfunction might be one possible reason for these complaints, as in patients with traumatic brain injury, hypopituitarism is known to be a common complication. There are only a few studies dealing with this problem in SAH patients, but these studies suggest that pituitary disturbances are very frequent after aneurysmal SAH. But anterior pituitary lobe disturbances might not be the only one responsible for some complaints or complications in patients suffering from aneurysmal SAH. Hyponatremia in the early state after SAH could be a hint for posterior pituitary lobe dysfunction.
