There have been cases of neurodegenerative syndromes which have affected or showed results in the malfunctioning of the endocrinal glands. One of the most dangerous of such cases is TBI or traumatic brain injury. TBI is seen to occur in as many as 300 out of every 100,000 people mostly in urban cities, and amongst youth in most parts of the world. Mortality is a relatively high possibility under such circumstances since the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands are amongst the affected endocrinal glands. They are primary to the person's basic functioning capabilities like feeling pain, showing signs of intuitive capabilities, and normal functioning of certain hormones, related to growth, blood sugar and others. Certain abnormalities are also considered to be possible effects of a hormonal imbalance caused by traumatic brain injury.
