Abstract
Delayed puberty is a frequently encountered problem causing much anxiety to patient and parents alike. Proper understanding of the normal pubertal events and its variation sets off the background to understand disorders leading to delayed puberty. An orderly clinical approach combined with continued observation helps to arrive at a final diagnosis in most of the patients. The treatment modalities available, even if not curative, can achieve the goals of management set off at the end of evaluation of the patient.
