Can a TBI or a concussion affect height?

Can a traumatic brain injury (TBI) cause or trigger a growth spurt in a child or teenager?
I’ve read that TBI can affect the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and can cause hormonal changes. I’ve also seen claims that severe TBI can sometimes cause precocious puberty.
Could a TBI therefore make someone grow faster for a period of time, even if they don’t develop gigantism? Or is a growth spurt after a TBI most likely just normal puberty happening around the same time?
I’m mainly interested in scientific evidence or documented cases, not guesses.

reddit.comCan a severe head injury/concussion cause a sudden growth spurt? (Hit my head at 13)
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some insight or to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.
When I was 13, I got into a fight, got knocked out, and fell backward, hitting the back of my head hard against the sharp edge of a radiator. Right after this injury, I went through a massive growth spurt and grew a ton.
I know that the pituitary gland (which controls growth hormones) is located in the brain, so I've been wondering lately if that trauma to the back of my head could have somehow triggered a spike in my growth hormones, or if it was just a total coincidence and a normal puberty growth spurt.
Has anyone ever heard of a head injury affecting growth like this? Is it possible to see if my hormone levels were temporarily messed up years after the fact, even if everything feels normal now?
Appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!

Hey everyone,
I (15M) am sharing this video of a fight because it’s exactly what happened to me a year ago. I was punched, knocked out cold (lost consciousness), and while I was limp, I fell head-first onto a metal radiator.
The physical changes since that day are insane:
• Immediate Growth: Within the same week of the hit, I started growing at a rate of 6cm per month. I went from 5'4" to 5'9" (12cm) in just 8 weeks. Now I’m 6'1" (186cm).
• Bone Density: My bones feel weirdly "hard" and massive, like my frame became way too thick too fast.
• Chronic Migraines: I’ve had severe, constant headaches since the incident.
I need your help with these questions:
- Double Impact: What happens to the brain when you are already unconscious (brain shut down) and then suffer a second hard impact on a metal object like a radiator?
- The "Control Center": Could this double trauma have damaged the part of my brain that regulates growth? (Reference: PMC4164321).
- Action Plan: How should a case like this be handled medically? I’ve been brushed off by general doctors, but I finally have an appointment with a specialist (endocrinologist) this Monday. What specific brain scans (MRI/CT) should I demand?
Thanks for any insights.
everyone, I'm looking for some honest opinions or medical insight.
When I was 13 (April 2024), I got into a fight and was knocked out. I hit the back of my head pretty hard (against a heater). I didn't call an ambulance and I didn't get checked by a doctor at the time.
A few days after, I felt "off" and like the world was kind of weird/unreal for a bit. About a year later, I started getting migraines with visual aura.
Around the same period, I also had a big growth spurt. I went from about (5,6) 164-171 cm cm to around 186(6,1) cm within 1-2 years.
My doctor recently told me everything looks normal, but l still keep wondering:
Is it even possible that a head injury or concussion could affect growth (like through the pituitary gland/hormones)?
Or is it much more likely that this was just normal puberty timing and coincidence?
Also, could not getting checked right after the injury cause any long-term issues?
I'd really appreciate any insights or similar experiences.
Thanks 🙏
