Central precocious puberty associated with duplicated pituitary: a case report and literature review.

Summary: Imagine a six-year-old girl suddenly showing signs of puberty, such as breast development and rapid growth, years before her peers. This condition, known as Central Precocious Puberty (CPP), was triggered in this rare case by a "duplicated pituitary"—a congenital anomaly where the master gland of the hormone system is doubled. While this condition is often linked to severe facial or brain defects, this patient had no such issues. Doctors confirmed the diagnosis via MRI and successfully treated her with hormone blockers (GnRHa). After two years, her early puberty halted, and her predicted adult height improved significantly, offering a promising outlook for similar rare cases.
