Amaç: Çalışmamızda ergenlik bulgularının başlaması şikayeti ile başvuran kız hastaların etiyolojik nedenlere göre değerlendirilmesi ve bulguların literatür eşliğinde tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çocuk Endokrinolojisi polikliniğine başvuran 96 kız hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların antropometrik ölçümleri, puberte durumları değerlendirildi. Erken puberte şüphesi olan hastaların değerlendirilmesinde Folikül stimüle edici hormon (FSH), Lüteinize edici hormon (LH), estradiol (E2), dehidroepiandrosteron sülfat (DHEA-SO4), 17 hidroksiprogesteron (17OHP) değerleri, luteinize edici hormon releasing hormon (LHRH) uyarı testi sonuçları kullanıldı. Yapılan kemik yaşı değerlendirilmesi, pelvik ultrasonografi sonuçları kaydedildi.Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 8.38 ±1.72 yıldı. Hastaların % 14.6’sında (n=14) prematüre telarş,% 4.2’sinde (n=4) prematüre pubarş, %3.1’inde (n=3) prematüre menarş, %8.3’ünde (n=8) erken puberte tespit edildi. Normalin varyantı pubertal gelişim hastaların %21.9’unu (n=21) oluşturmaktaydı. Başvuran olguların %46.9’u (n=45) normal pubertal gelişime,% 22.9’u (n=22) sekiz yaşın üzerinde pubertal gelişimde hızlanmaya sahipti. %21.9 (n=21) hastada pubertal gelişim atipik başlangıçlıydı.Sonuç: Günümüzde puberte bulgularının başlama yaşının düşmesiyle endokrinoloji kliniklerine başvuru artmıştır. Başvuruların çoğunu ise normal puberte varyantları oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile hastaların tanı aşamasında iyi değerlendirilmesini vurgulamak istedik.
Objective: In our study we aimed to evaluate the findings of female patients presenting with a complaint of the onset
of puberty according to the etiological factors and to discuss the findings in the literature.
Material and Methods: Ninety-six girls presenting to the pediatric endocrinology clinic patients were enrolled in
the study. Anthropometric measurements and pubertal status of the patients were evaluated. In the evaluation of
patients with suspected early puberty, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH), estradiol (E2),
dehydroxyepiandrostenedione sulfate (DHEA-SO4), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) levels, and luteinizing hormone
releasing hormone (LHRH) stimulation test results were used. The bone age and pelvic ultrasound results were recorded.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 8.38 ± 1.72 years. We found premature thelarche in 14.6% of the patients
(n = 14), premature pubarche in 4.2% (n = 4), premature menarche in 3.1% (n = 3), and precocious puberty in 8.3% (n =
8) while 21.9% (n = 21) were normal variants of pubertal development. 46.9% of admitted patients (n = 45) had normal
pubertal development, 22.9% (n = 22) had an acceleration in pubertal development over eight years. 21.9% (n = 21) of
patients had atypic pubertal development.
Conclusion: The decrease in the age of the onset of puberty has increased applications to the endocrine clinic. Most of
the applications are normal variants of puberty. We wanted to highlight the good diagnostic evaluation of these patients
in this study.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
