ABSTRACT
Ten Thai girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) were treated with gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) analog for a mean period of 1.5+/-0.4 years. The predicted adult height at the end of treatment was significantly higher than that at the start of treatment (158.2+/-7.9 vs 153.0+/-8.7 cm, p=0.009). In addition, treatment with GnRH analog could significantly regress the breast staging from 3.4+/-0.8 to 2.6+/-1.0 (p=0.04),but not the pubic hair staging. Five of them reached a final height which was not significantly higher than the predicted adult height before treatment (153.1+/-4.8 vs 150.7+/-1.0 cm, p=0.5). In conclusion, treatment with GnRH analog in Thai girls with ICPP can improve the predicted adult height and regress the breast staging. However, the improvement of final height is not promising.
