| Popis: | PREMATURE sexual precocity is not rare. In the case reported here, daily gonadotropic, estrogenic, androgenic (17-ketosteroids) and progestin metabolic products (sodium pregnanediol complex) assays were made almost every day for 50 days. This child apparently was endocrinologically a normal adult female, but in age a child. CASE FINDINGS R.J., a girl 4 years and 11 months of age, was brought to the author's office because of precocious menstruation and abnormally rapid growth. She was born February 21, 1935, as shown by the birth certificate; delivery was normal. She weighed 9¾ pounds at birth and 17 pounds at two months. The father of the patient was 32 years old, weighed 128 pounds and was 5 feet and 8 inches tall. The mother was 28 years old, weighed 173 pounds and was 5 feet and 5 inches tall. The mother's menstrual periods began at the age of 12 years. The patient had one sister, 10 years old, apparently normal. |
