Abstract One of the sequelae of idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) can be short adult stature. In this retrospective study adult height was normal in 90% of girls with untreated ICPP (mean, 161.4 ± 7.7 cm). The height prediction made at the time of initial examination and the height age correlated with adult height. Therefore the initial height prediction can be useful in identifying those girls with ICPP at risk for short stature. (J PEDIATR 1995;126:955-8)
