Resumo: |
Central precociuos puberty in girls is defined as pubertal development caused by activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis before 8 years old. In this condition, gonadotropin stimulation produces ovarian enlargement and estrogen secretion results in uterine enlargement. Pelvic ultrasound has proven to be an accurate and noninvasive technique for investigation of internal genitalia in female patients. Pelvic ultrasonography was systematically perfomed on 18 girls with idiopathic central precociuos puberty to investigate the impact of treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues on female internal genitalia. Before and after three months of treatment were evaluated ovarian and uterine volumes, uterine lenght, endometrial stripe and Tanner staging. Our data demonstrated that ovaries and uterus are enlarged at the time of diagnosis. Later, average 3 months of treatment, both ovarian and uterine volumes decreased, the uterine lenght decreased and the Tanner staging regressed. The endometrial echogenicity did not showed changes. Ours results confirmed pelvic ultrasonography as a reliable tool for investigation of internal genitalia in girls with precociuos puberty and as a valid method for evaluation of the efficacy of treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues. |
