Abstract

We review briefly the definition of central precocious puberty (CPP), and discuss early puberty and very early puberty. The association of hypothalamic hamartoma and empty sella with CPP is described. The contribution of new imaging techniques - CT, MRI and ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of CPP is discussed.
