| Abstract (English): |
Puberty is the period in which physical, hormonal, psychological and emotional changes occur that mark the difference between childhood and adulthood. Its onset depends on the interrelation of complex mechanisms with multiple levels of regulation that involve from the central nervous system to the gonads. The main events that occur during puberty are gonadarche and adrenarche, which determine the appearance and progression of secondary sexual characteristics. Sex steroids acting synergistically with growth hormone are responsible for the pubertal push. Puberty occurs due to the sequence of ordered events that present a different pattern in males and females. Knowledge about normal puberty and its variants will allow the Pediatrician to recognize signs of precocious puberty development. Early detection of the appearance of signs of precocious pubertal development and timely referral to a Pediatric Endocrinologist for management will benefit children who require some therapeutic intervention.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La pubertad es el periodo en el que se producen cambios físicos, hormonales, psicológicos y emocionales que marcan la diferencia entre la niñez y la adultez. Su inicio depende de la interrelación de mecanismos complejos con múltiples niveles de regulación que involucran desde el sistema nervioso central hasta las gónadas. Los eventos principales son la gonadarquia y la adrenarquia, que determinan la aparición y progresión de los caracteres sexuales secundarios. Los esteroides sexuales actuando en forma sinérgica con la hormona de crecimiento son responsables del empuje puberal. La pubertad se produce por una secuencia ordenada de eventos que presentan un patrón diferente en varones y mujeres. El conocimiento sobre la pubertad normal y sus variantes permitirá al Pediatra reconocer los cuadros de desarrollo sexual precoz, cuya detección temprana, así como la derivación oportuna al endocrinólogo pediatra para su manejo, beneficiará a aquellos que requieran alguna intervención terapéutica.
