Sexual feelings will arise, whether it occurs normally or very early, as in the case of precocious puberty. Any child entering puberty before the age of 8 in girls or 9 in boys, should be seen by a doctor to rule out brain tumor or other disease process that might be triggering early puberty. The reason why this is important is that growth stops once puberty concludes, so children with very early onset puberty tend to be shorter than their peers.

Can hydrocephalus cause Precocious puberty and Gelastic Epilepsy?

Hydrocephalus, characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, can potentially lead to precocious puberty and gelastic epilepsy, although these conditions are not commonly associated with hydrocephalus. Precocious puberty may occur due to disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which can be affected by increased intracranial pressure or structural brain changes from hydrocephalus. Gelastic epilepsy, characterized by episodes of laughter, may arise if the hydrocephalus affects the temporal lobe or other areas involved in seizure activity. However, these associations would depend on individual cases and the underlying causes of hydrocephalus.
