Central precocious puberty: Evaluation by neuroimaging

Pediatric Radiology, 1995
To evaluate the incidence of abnormal intracranial findings in children with central precocious puberty, 62 children (51 girls, 11 boys) were examined by computerized tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Forty-four had normal examinations; 18 (11 girls, 7 boys) showed intracranial pathologies, including hamartoma of the ...

Monitoring Therapy for Central Precocious Puberty

PEDIATRICS, 2002
To the Editor. — We read with great interest the article by Bhatia, Neely, and Wilson1 published in Pediatrics. The article suggests a simple and accurate method for assessing efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP). Although the GnRH stimulation test, intravenous or subcutaneous, is still

Central Precocious Puberty and Abnormal Chromosomal Patterns

Endocrine Pathology, 2000
Central precocious puberty (PP) can be caused by chromosomal aberrations. We report three patients presenting with central PP in whom karyotype analysis demonstrated abnormal chromosomal patterns. The first patient was affected by the triple-X syndrome, commonly characterized by premature ovarian failure.

Treatment of central precocious puberty

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Obesity, 2009
In consideration of the large number of the rapid advances in this area, it seems appropriate to highlight some of the recent studies that address factors involved in the decision to treat a child with central precocious puberty, and two recent advances in drug therapy.There are still many areas of uncertainty regarding treatment of central precocious ...

Diagnosis of Central Precocious Puberty: Endocrine Assessment

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2000
The new methods which are currently available have provided substantial help in performing the differential diagnosis of CPP, especially in detecting very early modifications of gonadotropin secretion. Nocturnal sampling is not a practical tool and generates discomfort for patients, and daytime samples do not yet have sufficient sensitivity; thus ...

The key roles of Makorin RING finger protein 3 (MKRN3) during the development of pubertal initiation and central precocious puberty (CPP).

Current molecular medicine, 2022
Puberty is initiated from the continuous and growing pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the hypothalamus and then the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.
