  20. Cause of precocious puberty

  21. Incomplete/ false/LHRH independent/ pseudo puberty

  22. Incomplete continued

  23. McCune-Albright syndrome Primary hypothyroidism. Long standing Exogenous sex steroid exposure. Partial forms of Precocious Puberty Premature thelarche Premature adrenarche Premature isolated menarche. The 1st 2 are much more common. Incomplete/LHRL in both sexes

  24. McCune –Albright syndrome • Irregular skin pigmentation • Fibrous bone dysplasia • Endocrine autonomy of glands notably ovaries. • Very enlarged ovaries with solitary cysts • Precocious puberty with early vaginal bleeding. • *Gene map locus 20q13.2 • Bone fractures Ref: Geneva foundation for medical education& research.
