The earliest sign of central precocious puberty (CPP) is enlargement of the testes, which depends on increased production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH); testicular length is more than 2.5 cm or testicular volume (with Prader orchidometer beads) is 4 mL or more. This hormone appears to stop sexual maturation brought on by the disorder by stopping the pituitary gland from releasing gonadotropin. These genes are responsible for the stimulatory and inhibitory signals to the GnRH release. Part of Springer Nature. In at least 50% of cases of precocious pubertal Puberty includes rapid growth of bones and muscles, changes in body shape and size, and development of the body's ability to reproduce. There are no other associated pubertal changes. 1985;9(8):54369. Some important causes include. Precocious puberty is when a child's body begins changing into that of an adult (puberty) too soon. The other type is peripheral (gonadotropin-independent) precocious puberty. It is attributable to a multitude of conditions. A clinicopathological analysis of 207 cases. With proper treatment and counseling, if necessary, children with precocious puberty can often have a happy and healthy adolescence and adulthood. The initial step is to verify whether pubertal development is occurring before the normal age of onset or not. This test is not available in the United States so that the GnRH agonist is an alternative. J Pediatr Surg. Relatively inexpensive; consider when leuprolide cost is a factor and when adult height prediction is close to reference range or is not a major concern. Some important causes include Congenital adrenal hyperplasia Whos at increased risk for precocious puberty? In cases of PPP, pelvic ultrasonography detects ovarian tumors or cysts in females while testicular ultrasonography in males reveals nonpalpable Leydig cell tumors. Premature Thelarche: It is the premature unilateral or bilateral development of the breast tissue in girls between the age of 12 to 24 months. A childrens hospital that treats kids with precocious puberty may have counselors experienced in helping children with this specific condition.

Possible complications of precocious puberty include: The decision to treat depends on the age of the child and the progression of puberty. Am J Obstet Gynecol. In peripheral precocious puberty, estrogen and testosterone are produced without the central control from the brain that normally triggers them. Heterosexual precocious puberty causes signs of masculine characteristics in girls and feminization in boys. A thorough examination should be done to look for acanthosis nigricans, caf au lait macules, neurofibromas which might indicate specific causes such as neurofibromatosis type 1 and McCune-Albright syndrome. Singhania P, Bhattacharjee R, Pratim Chakraborty P, Chowdhury S. Cureus. J Clin Endocrinol Metab.

They may present with either a single episode or few cycles (less than 3) of bleeding and have normal progression to puberty. GnRH agonist therapy is generally considered safe, with no reported significant adverse events. Available as nasal spray; 200 mcg/spray. doi: 10.1016/j.anpedi.2011.09.014. For boys and girls, precocious puberty leads to abnormally early growth of bones and muscles. There is no breast development in females and no testicular enlargement in males. They also may not need treatment if the condition develops closer to the age of puberty. Encouraging a child to maintain a healthy weight. Outline the treatment and management options available for precocious puberty. Signs and Symptoms Since both central and peripheral precocious puberty is caused by a premature secretion of androgens and estrogens, most clinical features are normal pubescent signs of the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Soriano-Guilln L, Corripio R, Labarta JI, Caete R, Castro-Feijo L, Espino R, Argente J. Peripheral precocious puberty: Peripheral precocious puberty occurs as a result of problems with reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles) or the adrenal glands, or from hormone exposure from the environment. The optimal treatment for familial male-limited precocious puberty is not well established, but the preferred treatment is a combination of an androgen antagonist (spironolactone) and an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, testolactone). Instead, the cause is release of estrogen or testosterone into the body because of problems with the ovaries, testicles, adrenal glands or pituitary gland. It is less frequent compared to the CPP. Testosterone is responsible for the growth and development of male sexual characteristics. This reduces gonadal steroids to prepubertal levels. There is no breast development in females and no testicular enlargement in males. Researchers speculate that untreated primary hypothyroidism results in pituitary hyperstimulation and the production of multiple pituitary hormones resulting in precocious puberty. Feuillan P, Jones J, Cutler G. Long-term testolactone therapy for precocious puberty in girls with the McCune-Albright syndrome. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Why this process begins early in some children depends on whether they have central precocious puberty or peripheral precocious puberty. This means a child's physical signs of sexual maturity develop too soon. 2016;29:230-9. doi: 10.1159/000438895. An immunoserology, endocrinology, electrolyte laboratory examination .

Peripheral precocious puberty Estrogen or testosterone in your child's body causes this type of precocious puberty. There have been some reports of familial forms, but the genetic basis is not well understood. Premature Menarche: Isolated premature menarche is the onset of vaginal bleeding in girls less than 7 years of age.

An unusual presentation of acquired hypothyroidism: the Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome. Sexual abuse, vaginal foreign body, and infections of the vulva and vagina need to be ruled out. In females, accurate Tanner staging of the breast should take place, which is particularly challenging in obese or overweight girls to differentiate between adipose tissue and the glandular breast tissue. 2019 Dec 22;11(12):e6441. There is an increased production of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with germ cell tumors, hepatoblastoma, pineal, and mediastinal tumors. This activation may result in breast development in females and pubic hair in males. There is an increased androgen production in CAH, adrenal tumors, and Leydig cell tumors. Prevalence and incidence of precocious pubertal development in Denmark: an epidemiologic study based on national registries. The first epidemiologic study from a Danish national registry estimated that 0.2 % of females had some form of precocious puberty (CPP, PPP or benign variants) while it was less than 0.05% in males. Peripheral precocious puberty (GnRH independent) CNS tumors - Hypothalamic hamartoma, optic glioma, arachnoid cysts, astrocytoma, ependymoma, hydrocephalus, septo optic dysplasia, pineal tumors CNS injury- head trauma, cranial irradiation, cerebral palsy, infections ( Tuberculous meningitis) It's also less common. Unlike CPP, PPP isnt stimulated by the pituitary glands premature release of gonadotropins. A study of 200 girls in France identified abnormal brain imaging findings in 2% of girls whose onset of puberty was between age 6-8 years and in 20% of girls whose onset of puberty was before age 6 years. In peripheral precocious puberty, the abnormality is not in the brain but in the testicles, ovaries, or adrenal glands, causing overproduction of sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogens. An abnormal pituitary gland or hypothalamus may cause precocious puberty. Increased risk of cancer in the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. It is less frequent compared to the CPP. In general, it refers to girls who start to develop sexual characteristics before age 8. Peripheral precocious puberty occurs when sex hormone glands start working earlier than they should. PubMed Secondary sexual development induced by sex steroids from other abnormal sources is referred to as peripheral precocious puberty or precocious pseudopuberty. For many years, puberty was designated as precocious in girls younger than 8 years; however, studies have come to indicate that signs of early puberty (breasts and pubic hair) are often. Hormonal testing differentiates peripheral and central causes. To understand the initial presentation of the patients at their first visit to the clinic, we analyzed their pubertal development staging.

Treatment for these two types of precocious puberty is not necessary. In males and females with pubic hair and body odor, the absence of increased testicular volume and breast development should prompt investigation of peripheral causes. Peripheral precocious puberty can lead to activation of pulsatile GnRH secretion and to central precocious puberty. Cureus. FSH and LH initiate spermatogenesis and the release of testosterone in males, and oogenesis and the release of estradiol in the females, respectively. Premature Adrenarche: The early production of adrenal androgens characterizes this benign condition. Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome are characterized by primary hypothyroidism, ovarian cysts, and precocious puberty. Peripheral Precocious Puberty Surgery is indicated for gonadal tumors. If exogenous sources of sex steroids are identified, they should be eliminated. Peripheral precocious puberty of CAH generally affects girls with genitalia disambiguate, less common in boys. The optimal treatment for familial male-limited precocious puberty is not well established, but the preferred treatment is a combination of an androgen antagonist (spironolactone) and an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, testolactone).

[2] Another observational study in Spain estimated the annual incidence of central precocious puberty to be between 0.02 and 1.07 cases per 100000 persons. Precocious development of secondary sexual characteristics independent of the GnRH pulsatile secretion constitutes PPP; this is due to the production of sex steroids from endogenous or exogenous sources. Precocious Puberty Associated with Testicular Hormone-secreting Leydig Cell Tumor. DiSaia P, Creasman W. Chapter 12, Germ cell, stromal, and other ovarian tumors. StatPearls Publishing, Treasure Island (FL). Magnetic resonance imaging is to be performed in all cases of CPP, especially in males, to rule out a hypothalamic lesion. Endocr Dev. Peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) results from sex steroid exposure by a process other than activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Precocious puberty has also been further subclassified as gonadotropin-dependent, deemed central precocious puberty or true precocious puberty, or gonadotropin-independent, called pseudo-precocious puberty or peripheral precocious puberty. [Updated 2022 Jul 4]. PMC Classic congenital CAH is treated with glucocorticoids. The ectopic neural cells in the lesion serve as an accessory GnRH pulse generator. The pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland. Incidence is I in 15.000 to 20.000 children with a female to male ratio of about 20:1. Emphasize, though, that all these body changes will happen to everybody at some point. Gesmundo R, Guana R, Valfre L, De Sanctis L, Matarazzo P, Marzari D, et al. Unilateral testicular enlargement is likely due to testicular tumors. It presents with pubic or axillary hair, body odor, or acne before the age of 8 years. They lack significant androgenic or estrogenic activity. Precocious puberty is defined as the onset of puberty before the age of 7 or 8 in girls and age 9 in boys. Most patients, particularly girls suspected of having central precocious puberty, are otherwise healthy children whose pubertal maturation begins at the early end of the normal distribution curve. Upon long-term administration, suppresses gonadotrope responsiveness to endogenous GnRH, thereby reducing secretion of LH and FSH, which in turn reduces ovarian and testicular steroid production. CrossRef J Clin Endocrinol Metab. The most characteristic association is gelastic seizures, which are usually refractory to medications. J Med Case Rep. 2012;6(1):162. Frequent clinical follow up to monitor growth, and pubertal progression is required. Springer, New York, NY.

In males and females with pubic hair and body odor, the absence of increased testicular volume and breast development should prompt investigation of peripheral causes. When puberty begins before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys, it is considered precocious puberty. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/precocious-puberty/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351817 Elevated levels of estradiol or testosterone levels with suppressed gonadotropin levels on GnRH stimulation test. There was female predominance about 20 to 23 per 10000 girls compared to boys, which were less than 5 per 10000 boys. Some germ cell tumors secrete hCG, which activates the LH receptors and increases testosterone production. [11]More studies are needed to validate the psychological consequences. Thyroid testing. Puberty results from the activation and maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Bone age is usually not advanced. Orphanet J Rare Dis. It is also essential to take a complete family history about the onset of puberty in parents and siblings, which may point to the possibility of a familial condition. There is an increased androgen production in CAH, adrenal tumors, and Leydig cell tumors. We avoid using tertiary references. Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome are characterized by primary hypothyroidism, ovarian cysts, and precocious puberty. There have been some reports of familial forms, but the genetic basis is not well understood. The ectopic neural cells in the lesion serve as an accessory GnRH pulse generator. Increased FSH levels cause enlargement of the gonads in both sexes and eventually promote follicular maturation in girls and spermatogenesis in boys. It is one of the common conditions encountered in pediatric endocrinology practice. Activation of the gonads is known as gonadarche. It is much less common than central precocious puberty and may be congenital or acquired. Familial male-limited precocious puberty (testitoxicosis). Medical evaluation and treatment of affected children is guided by the presenting features and ultimate diagnosis. The traditional definition of precocious puberty is the development of secondary sexual characteristics before 8 years of age in girls and 9 years in boys. How Early Is Too Early for Children to Reach Puberty? FSH and LH initiate spermatogenesis and the release of testosterone in males, and oogenesis and the release of estradiol in the females, respectively. Peripheral precocious puberty is seen after exposure to exogenous gonadal steroids or gonadotropin-independent secretion of androgens or estrogens. Even when there is no disease, unusually early puberty can have adverse effects on social behavior and psychological development, can reduce adult height potential, and may shift some lifelong health risks. 1991;325(4):168895.

So the exact height, weight, growth velocity (cm/year) and BMI should be documented. Central precocious puberty can be treated by suppressing the pituitary hormones that induce sex steroid production. GIPP, sometimes called "pseudo-precocious puberty," involves excess secretion of sex hormones (estrogens or androgens) derived either from the gonads or adrenal glands, exogenous sources of sex steroids, or ectopic production of gonadotropin from a germ cell tumor (eg, hCG). The other form of precocious puberty is premature adrenarche. The other associated features include cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms. CNS abnormalities associated with precocious puberty include the following: High-amplitude pulses of GnRH cause pulsatile increases in the pituitary gonadotropin-luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Treat your child as normally as possible, looking for opportunities to boost self-esteem. Much of the risk of precocious puberty is associated with gender, race, and family history, as well as other causes that are largely unavoidable, so youre limited in what you can do to prevent this condition.

The body starts the kind of changes that usually first develop when a child is closer to their teenage years. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Precocious development of secondary sexual characteristics independent of the GnRH pulsatile secretion constitutes PPP; this is due to the production of sex steroids from endogenous or exogenous sources. Wagoner H, Steinmetz R, Bethin K, Eugster E, Pescovitz O, Hannon T. GNAS mutation detection is related to disease severity in girls with McCune-Albright syndrome and precocious puberty. Ultrasound of the ovaries in females or the testicles in males might detect a tumor; if an adrenal pathology is suspected, for example when there is rapid virilization , an adrenal ultrasound plus serum adrenal androgens measurements might also help confirm the diagnosis.
