A small percentage of individuals have the neurological anomaly of central precocious puberty (CPP). Common neurologic causes of CPP include a tumor or congenital lesions. Although Arnold-Chiari malformation can be caused by congenital or acquired causes, it is unusual in patients with CPP. We present the case of a girl aged 4.5 years who complained of breast budding. Her neurological examinati...

Floating-Harbor Syndrome (FHS) is a very rare condition of unknown etiology characterized by short stature, delayed bone age, characteristic facial features, delayed language skills and usually normal motor development. This syndrome has only once been associated with growth hormone deficiency and precocious puberty in the same patient. We describe a 5 4/12 year-old girl with the typical featur...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by infantile lethargy and hypotonia causing poor feeding and failure to thrive, childhood obesity, short stature, and hypogonadism. The complex phenotype is most probably caused by a hypothalamic dysfunction that is responsible for the hormonal dysfunction. The resulting hypogonadism in PWS causes incomplete, delayed, and sometimes disordered puberta...

The study was to compare body image and levels of self-esteem and depression between girls with precocious puberty and normal girls and identify relations between variables. As results, there was a significant differences of body image, self-esteem and depression between the two groups. The two groups showed that body image had a positive correlation with self-esteem and self-esteem had a negat...

The GnRH analogue has been shown to be effective in the treatment of precocious puberty when given as a daily subcutaneous injection. We studied the effectiveness of a long-acting GnRH analogue, Triptoreline, for the treatment of central precocity, by suppressing gonadotropin and estradiol secretion in three children with true precocious puberty. One month after single dose intramuscular i...

background and aim: today, bilingualism is a developing phenomenon which half of the world population is bilingual. auditory system is the main route to language learning, so it is expected that bilingualism has an effect on functions of the auditory system. auditory memory is one of the auditory processes which is a cornerstone of linguistic skills and learning process growth, so that, it has ...

Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a rare intracranial lesion that usually presents with classic triad of central precocious puberty, gelastic epilepsy, and developmental delay. Herein, a 14-year old boy is presented in whom the diagnosis of HH was made by magnetic resonance imaging. While he did not have any complain of precocious puberty, he surprisingly suffered from delay in puberty. The defini...
