Central Precocious Puberty Understanding

Central Precocious Puberty: Overview

Precocious puberty means an abnormally early onset of puberty. A sequence of events occurs during which a child develops into a young adult beginning at an unexpectedly early age. Glands that secrete growth and sex hormones begin to function abnormally early in life resulting in this condition Precocious puberty can occur in several forms. Central precocious puberty (CPP) can be caused by CNS tumors (craniopharyngioma, glioma, etc.) and other CNS disorders including: hypothalamic hamartoma of the tuber cinereum, encephalitis, brain abscess, static encephalopathy, global delays, sarcoid or tubercular granuloma, head trauma, vascular lesion, cranial irradiation, or neurofibromatosis type 1 (usually associated with optic glioma).

Symptoms
The symptoms of Central Precocious Puberty include:

• Testicular enlargement (>3 ml) and/or pubic hair development in boys,
• Breast and/or pubic hair development in girls.
• Acne,
• Growth acceleration,
• Voice changes,
• Vaginal discharge or bleeding,
• Advanced skeletal maturation.

Diagnosis
The gold standard for determination of pubertal gonadotropin secretion is the GnRH stimulation test, though many clinicians start with a sensitive measurement of serum LH. Skeletal age determination is frequently obtained early in the work-up, and can be helpful in distinguishing isolated signs of puberty, which do not typically cause advancement in bone age as compared to true Precocious Puberty (PP), which will advance bone maturity. In boys, serum DHEAS, testosterone, 17-OH progesterone and ß-HCG levels are useful for the diagnosis of GIPP. In girls, serum DHEAS, estradiol and 17-OH progesterone levels are useful. Diagnostic studies including head MRI and pelvic ultrasound are frequently required in the work-up of children with Precocious Puberty.

Treatment
Treatment with very potent, long acting GnRH analogues have resulted in significant improvement in height in many, although not all, children with PP caused by both organic conditions and idiopathic CPP, with the best treatment outcomes seen in those with onset of puberty before 6 years of age GnRH superactive agonists work by first stimulating and then, after a few days, suppressing pulsatile LH and FSH release. This leads to suppression of gonadal steroid production. Management of GIPP requires removal of the hormone source (i.e. gonadal or adrenal tumor, exogenous hormone etc. The addition of androgen receptor blockers has been helpful in treating FMPP and MAS in boys. Pure estrogen receptor blocker, fulvestrant, is currently being investigated for the treatment of MAS in females with promising results.
