Abstract

Precocious puberty defined by the onset of secondary sexual characteristics before 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys. It is more common in females than males and is usually sporadic. Depending on the primary source of hormonal production, precocious puberty is classified as central and peripheral. Precocious puberty in infants is very rare. While investigating a case of precocious puberty, it is essential to progress systematically, with an identification of isolated or complete precocious puberty followed by bone age estimation, relevant hormonal assays, including GnRH stimulation, as well as neuroimaging when indicated. We present a case of isosexual (central) precocious puberty in a 1 year, 3-month-old girl, who was symptomatic for 1 year of age and was diagnosed to have hypothalamic hamartoma after methodical evaluation and responded to treatment with GnRH agonists.
病例报告:1例罕见的下丘脑错构瘤致中枢性性早熟
性早熟是指女孩在8岁之前,男孩在9岁之前出现第二性征。它在女性中比男性更常见,通常是零星的。根据激素产生的主要来源,性早熟可分为中枢性和外周性。婴儿性早熟是非常罕见的。在调查性早熟病例时,有必要进行系统的进展,首先确定孤立性或完全性性早熟,然后进行骨龄估计,相关激素测定,包括GnRH刺激,以及必要时的神经影像学检查。我们报告了一例1岁3个月大的同性性(中枢性)性早熟女孩,她在1岁时出现症状,经过系统评估后被诊断为下丘脑错构瘤,并对GnRH激动剂治疗有反应。
