Aim: To highlight the role of in-vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), as a non-invasive tool that can clarify the specific etiology of a sellar tumour in a boy with precocious puberty.Case presentation: A 4-year-old boy was admitted due to repeated episodes of focal seizures with fixed gaze, head turn to the right, and postictal drowsiness. Parents reported episodes of inappropriate laughter ("gelastic seizures") in the pr...

Introduction: Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and likely to present with peripheral precocious puberty (PPP). We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with pineal GCT, in whom, although he presented with advanced peripheral precocious puberty, levels of β-chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) were mildly elevated, not diagnostic of GCT, posing a diagnostic dilemma.Methods: A 53/12 year- old boy ...
