Central precocious puberty (CPP) could be a phenotype of pathology in the central nervous system. While it is generally accepted that all boys with CPP and girls with CPP at less than 6 years of age should undergo brain imaging as part of the workup, there have been controversies as to the use of brain imaging in girls who develop CPP between 6 to 8 years.
