[A case of true precocious puberty in a child].

Abstract

The authors present a case of true precocious puberty in a 2 1/2-years-old female child, probably due to a neurogenic cause (sequela of a purulent meningitis). The girl showed telarche, pubarche, menarche and an advanced statural development. The diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory. On treatment with Depo Provera (medroxy-progesterone acetate long acting) 200 mg/day for 10 days i.m., the evolution was favourable (cessation of precocious menstra).
