Abstract
The GnRH analogue Buserelin was given for one year to six girls with central precocious puberty in a daily subcutaneous dose of 20 .mu.g/kg/day. A decrease of plasma estradiol and vaginal maturation index to prepubertal values was obtained in 5 out of 6 cases. Bone maturation decreased and final predicted adult height improved significantly. This analogue of GnRH appears to be an effective medication for gonadotropin dependent precocious puberty in girls.Keywords
