Types of Puberty disorders?
Precocious puberty - (too soon)
Delayed puberty - ( late)
Types of Precocious puberty?
Central vs Peripheral
Central = CNS premature over production Peripheral = Sex hormones synth independent of CNS
Reasons for delayed puberty?
- Inhibition of GnRH release from hypothalamus
2. Pituitary issues
When is precocious puberty considered? M/F?
<8yo female
<9yo male
Central precocious puberty is due to?
Brain or pituitary malfx
MC cause of central precocious puberty?
Idiopathic GnRH secretion
Causes of peripheral precocious puberty?
Gonad/Adrenal tumors/Hamartoma
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Familial Leydig cell maturation
McCune-Albright syndrome
MC cause of peripheral precocious puberty?
McCune-Albright syndrome
McCune-Albright syndrome is?
Ovarian hyperfunction causing precocious puberty w/ episodic estrogen secretion.
McCune-Albright syndrome is ass/w?
Bony d/o
Café au lait spots
TXT McCune-Albright syndrome w/?
Medroxyprogesterone acetate
Testolactone - bocks estrogen synthesis
Tamoxifen - antiestrogen
PE clues suggesting Peripheral precocious puberty?
Adrenarche dominantes
- pubic/axilla hair, acne, body odor
Testes <2.5cm - adrenal/non-testicular source
PE clues suggesting Central precocious puberty?
Testicular growth >2.5cm
Thelarche then Menarche
LH/FSH results of central precocious puberty?
Both Elevated = central
LSH/FSH results of peripheral precocious puberty?
Both decreased = peripheral
What other study is performed when central vs peripheral is considered?
Head MRI for central precocious puberty
CT or MRI for either
TXT of precocious puberty?
Endo referral
Leuprolide = GnRH analogues (Stops menses/suppress)
GnRH- dependent central precocious puberty is TXT w/?
GnRH agonists
Complications of un-TXT precocious puberty?
Short stature - bone epiphyses close early
Recurrent ovarian cysts
TXT SEs - radiation of tumor
1st question to ask considering central vs peripheral precocious puberty? Yes W/U? No W/U?
Did it start w/ testicular or breast development???
Yes -central- high LH/FSH, hormones and head MRI
No -periph- DHEAS, MRI of adrenal (acne/odor/hair)
