Resumo: This study reported a rare case of central precocious puberty in a male child, who was 2 years and 4 months old, with a history of gelastic seizures and signs of precocious puberty. The patient, at 1 year and 8 months old, exhibited pubic hair growth, increased penile and testicular size, and the onset of acne. Additionally, the child experienced unprovoked bouts of laughter (gelastic seizures) and daily behavioral changes, including aggression. An MRI examination of the pituitary gland revealed an expansive lesion in the hypothalamic region with partial obliteration of the posterior aspect of the suprasellar cistern and interpeduncular cistern, consistent with hypothalamic hamartoma. Treatment was initiated with GnRH analog and carbamazepine. The patient described here continues to receive pharmacological treatment.

La paciente, de 1 año y 8 meses, presentaba vello púbico, aumento de tamaño peneano y testicular y aparición de acné. Sumado a esto, el niño presentaba ataques de risa desmotivada (crisis gelásticas) y cambios de comportamiento, como agresividad en el día a día. En el examen de Imagen por Resonancia Magnética Nuclear de hipófisis se observó lesión expansiva en la región hipotalámica con obliteración parcial de la cara posterior de la cisterna supraselar y cisterna interpeduncular, compatible con hamartoma hipotalámico. Se inició tratamiento con análogo de GnRH y carbamazepina. El paciente aquí reportado aún se encuentra en tratamiento farmacológico.Este trabalho teve por propósito, relatar um caso raro de um menino, com pouco mais de 2 anos de idade, histórico de convulsões gelásticas e sinais de puberdade precoce. O paciente, com 1 ano e 8 meses de idade, apresentou pelos pubianos, aumento do tamanho peniano, testicular e surgimento de acnes. Somado a isto, a criança manifestava crises de risos desmotivados (convulsões gelásticas) e alteração comportamental, como agressividade diariamente.  No exame de Ressonância Nuclear Magnética da hipófise observou-se uma lesão expansiva em região hipotalâmica com parcial obliteração do aspecto posterior da cisterna suprasselar e cisterna interpeduncular, compatível com hamartoma hipotalâmico. Deu-se início ao tratamento, com o análogo do GnRH e carbamazepina. O paciente aqui relatado, segue em tratamento farmacológico.Research, Society and Development2023-12-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4462610.33448/rsd-v12i14.44626Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 14; e116121444626Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 14; e116121444626Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 14; e1161214446262525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/44626/35682Copyright (c) 2023 Ana Cecília Borges Almeida; Sandra Regina Chahuan Tobji Hernandes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida, Ana Cecília Borges Hernandes , Sandra Regina Chahuan Tobji 2024-01-01T11:23:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/44626Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-01T11:23:38Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
