OBJECTIVES: Central precocious puberty (CPP) is one of the common reasons for referral to pediatric endocrinology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to rule out intracranial pathologies. However, there is insufficient information in the literature about bone marrow abnormalities on MRI in CPP cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values obtained from bone marrow diffusion weight images (DWI) of cranial bone structures and the status of sphenooccipital synchondrosis (SOS) in CPP.
METHODS: MRI data from 6-to 9-year-old girls with CPP and a healthy control group were evaluated. Anthropometric data, FSH, LH, and oestradiol tests were recorded, and the relationship between SOS status, DWI-ADC values of the clivus, parietal bone, and occipital protuberance were compared.
RESULTS: The study included 146 girls, 79 CPP, and 67 healthy aged 6-9 years (median: 8 (2)). The diagnosis age was 8.30 ± 0.8 years. The ADC values were significantly lower on CPP than normal controls (p=<0.05). In the CPP group, pattern 1 was found at 2 % (n=2), pattern 2 at 3.5 % (n=3), and pattern 3 at 3.5 % (n=3) in clivus sphenooccipital synchondrosis. There was no correlation between the mean parietal, occipital, and clivus ADC values and any variable (p>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: DWI-MRI ADC analysis can be used as a quantitative radiological marker for early detection of CPP, even before changes in sphenooccipital synchondrosis.
