Puberdade precoce: dilemas no diagnóstico e tratamento

Abstract: Novos critérios para o diagnóstico e tratamento da puberdade precoce (PP) central (GnRH-dependente) têm sido propostos. Frente a uma menina com desenvolvimento sexual precoce o médico deve considerar: 1) O que é o desenvolvimento puberal normal e quando ele se inicia? O início puberal em meninas normais aparentemente tem ocorrido cada vez mais cedo. A idade limite para o desenvolvimento puberal normal é de 9 anos nos meninos e 8 anos nas meninas. Entre 6 e 8 anos, muitas meninas apresentam sinais puberais isol… Show more

“…As expected, no prepubescent girls were found in the sample, as female development occurs earlier than male development, beginning on average at 8 or 9 years of age ( Monte, Longui, & Calliari, 2001 ;Papalia, et al, 2001 ;Lourenço & Queiroz, 2010 ). A large proportion of the adolescents in the study were still in elementary school due to having repeated school years, and they therefore exhibited delays in age-grade relation.…”

“…The final sample was determined by 13 students, based on another work, which observed oral breathing 20 . The ages varied from 7 to 14 years old because of hyperplasia of lymphoid mass occurence in this period, which tend to decrease naturally during puberty 15 and beyond. The study included children / adolescents aged from 7 to 14 years old, duly enrolled in school, specifically in elementary school, with no sealing somewhere in the oral cavity that underwent clinical examination with the ENT physician.…”

“…The most frequent cause of obstruction of the upper airways are due to organic changes such as nasal polyps, adenoid hypertrophic and / or tonsils, more frequent; allergic rhinitis, deviated septum, sinusitis and nasal turbinate hypertrophy 6,12,14 Regarding to the adenoids and the tonsils they are present in all children since birth and tend to increase in size from to 2 to 6 years old, period in which the hyperplasia of all lymphoid tissues occur. The physiological hyperplasia of the lymphoid palatal and pharyngeal of the mass probably explains why the oral breath is common during the 4 th and 12 th years of life, and tend to physiologically reduce during puberty and thereafter, when there is atrophy of tonsils and the increased dimensions of the nasopharyngeal airway 2,7,14,15 . The most common features found are: shortness of breath or respiratory failure, rapid fatigue in the physical activities, back or neck muscles pain, halitosis, dry mouth, choking during sleep, sleep poorly, daytime sleepiness, saliva while talking, irritability , change in chewing, poor concentration followed by poor school performance 3,6,9 .…”

“…Assim, uma questão interessante do fenômeno da adolescência na Contemporaneidade habita na lacuna entre a maturidade biológica e a maturidade social. Se, por um lado, a puberdade acontece cada vez mais cedo (Monte, Longui & Calliari, 2001), o prolongamento do processo de escolarização e o aumento da expectativa de vida possibilitam o adiamento cada vez maior da entrada na vida adulta. É possível que essa situação crie uma indefinição a respeito do papel social desses indivíduos no contexto contemporâneo, já que é cada vez mais difícil definir modelos de transição num quadro em que as trajetórias se tornam progressivamente mais individualizadas.…”
