Causes of central precocious puberty can include: 1  damage to the inhibitory system of the brain (due to infection, trauma, or irradiation), 2  hypothalamic hamartoma produces pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), 3  Langerhans cell histiocytosis, or.  McCuneâAlbright syndrome.
For many years, puberty was considered precocious in girls younger than 8 years; however, recent studies indicate that signs of early puberty (breasts and pubic hair) are often present in girls (particularly black girls) aged 6-8 years. For boys, onset of puberty before age 9 years is considered precocious. Early onset of puberty can cause several problems. The early growth spurt initially can cause tall stature, but rapid bone maturation can cause linear growth to cease too early and can result in short adult stature.
