Abstract
A case is reviewed of precocious puberty associated with hypothalamic hamartoma in a 15-month-old boy. The authors believe this to be the first documented case in which significant reductions occurred in the level of serum testosterone and in the result of the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) infusion test following surgical removal of the turner. Such surgery appears to be safe when a planned micro-surgical course is employed.
