ABSTRACT
Central precocious puberty is exceptionally due to hypothalamic hamartoma in girls under one year of age. A small girl hospitalized for exploration of precocious puberty started since the age of 7 months. Exploration of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis confirmed the central origin of this puberty. Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] showed a small pediculate hypothalamic hamartoma [HH]. Evolution under triptorelin [recoil of 6 years] was favourable with notably the secondary sexual characters disappearance, the slowing of the speed of growth and the bony maturation. Central precocious puberty must make search HH even in girl. Its pathogenesis again controversial, seem to be in this age probably multifactorial. Our observation illustrates the efficiency of long-acting GnRH agonists during the central precocious puberty due to HH even in infantile form
