14 Initial Assessment and Work-Up

15 Precocious Puberty Definition: Premature beginning of sexual characteristics before 9 years in boys and before 8 years in girls 1 (age still debated) 2 Prevalence 3 : Girls: 0.2% Boys: <0.05% 1. Rosenfield and Ghai. Disorders of Pubertal Development Walvoord EC. Journal of Adolescent Health Teilmann G et al. Pediatrics

16 Differential Diagnosis of Precocious Puberty Central Precocious Puberty premature reactivation of the GnRH pulse generation and the pituitary-gonadotropin axis = GnRH-dependent GnRH-Independent Puberty Increase in sex steroids outside of the HPG axis Isosexual vs. contrasexual

23 Summary 9 yr 2 mo boy with central precocious puberty due to suprasellar arachnoid cyst. Evaluated by ophthalmology Has normal vision, including peripheral fields, and normal optic discs Evaluated by 3 neurosurgeons Consensus: No surgical intervention at this time Pituitary hormones were evaluated and determined to be normal Initiated Lupron

24 Clinical Questions 1. What are the most common causes of central precocious puberty in boys? 2. What is the mechanism of precocious puberty in patients with large arachnoid cysts? 3. What is the appropriate treatment of patients with large arachnoid cysts presenting with precocious puberty?

25 Distribution of Diagnoses of Patients with Central Precocious Puberty Pescovitz et al. Journal of Pediatrics

26 Arachnoid Cyst Abnormality of the arachnoid membrane caused by accumulation of CSF Typically congenital, but not always Rare, account for only 1% of intracranial mass lesions Sellar/Suprasellar Cysts 9-15% of all Arachnoid Cysts Wide range of endocrine dysfunction 33% present with CPP Chung et al. RadioGraphics Huang et al. Pediatric Neurology Mohn et al. Pediatric Neurosurgery

27 Exact Mechanism of CPP is Unknown Endocrinopathies correlate with proximity of the cyst to the H-P area Proposed Mechanisms: 1. Disruption of the neural pathway that normally inhibits the GnRH pulse generator Direct physical compression of portions of H-P axis Pressure effects on the pressure-sensitive hypothalamus 2. Direct release of hormones into the pituitary portal circulation Adan et al. European Journal of Pediatrics Chung et al. RadioGraphics

28 Management: Medical vs. Surgical GnRH Agonist successfully halts pubertal development in this patient population Surgical Management is controversial for arachnoid cysts, in general Complication Rate 15-58% Recurrence Rate 15-30% Outcomes after surgical management for CPP is mixed: At least 6 Case Reports suggest cessation of puberty after surgery 10-40% endocrine disorders persist despite surgery Boutarbouch et al.
