Abstract
Precocious puberty may be a rare presentation of untreated hypothyroidism, while delayed puberty is its norm. Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome (VWGS) refers to the development of isosexual precocious pseudo puberty and multicystic enlarged ovaries in the presence of hypothyroidism. Here we report a case of an eight-year-old girl child who required emergency surgical intervention attributable to the aforementioned syndrome.
