Diagnosis of Central Precocious Puberty

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

A thorough history and physical examination including Tanner staging and growth assessments can guide differential diagnosis and aid in the evaluation of precocious puberty. Basal luteinizing hormone levels measured using a highly sensitive assay can be helpful in diagnosing central precocious puberty (CPP). Brain MRI is indicated with males diagnosed with CPP and females under the age of 6 with CPP. As more information becomes available regarding the genetic etiologies of CPP, genetic testing may preclude the need for imaging studies and other hormonal testing, especially in familial cases.
