Central precocious puberty

Тодорхойлолт

Central precocious puberty is defined as the onset of pubertal changes before 8 years of age in girls and before 9.5 years of age in boys due to the overproduction of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus. It may be idiopathic with no apparent cause (90% of cases in girls, 50% of cases in boys) or secondary to a lesion (tumour or malformation) in the hypothalamus. Other causes may include traumatic brain injury, or genetic disorders, affecting behavioural and psychological development, and final body height.
