Short Stature Outlines
Short Stature Outlines
Short Stature: • A child whose height is below the 3rd percentile for age and sex.
Growth Failure: • Slow growth rate regardless of the stature. • Ultimately, a slow growth rate leads to short stature. • A Growth Chart is used to show: • A child's current height. • Growth Velocity : how fast the child is growing.

Growth Charts: • Growth charts are a standard part of any checkup. • They show health care providers how kids are growing compared with other kids of the same age and gender.
Different Types of Growth Charts: Male Growth Charts Weight-for-Age Height-for-Age Weight-for-Height HC-for-Age
Different Types of Growth Charts: Female Growth Charts Weight-for-Age Height-for-Age Weight-for-Height HC-for-Age
Growth Charts: • Assessment: • Short Stature: Height < 3rd percentile. • Growth Failure: • Height crossing 2 major percentiles. • Low growth velocity: Rate < 25th percentile.
Short stature with normal growth rate and delayed growth spurt with eventual achievement of normal adult stature. • “ CONSTITUTIONAL GROWTH DELAY “ Stature
Normal growth rate. • Short stature in childhood. • Short stature in adults. • “ Familial Short Stature“ Stature
SPECIAL Types of Growth Turner syndrome, Achondroplasia, Down syndrome • special growth charts available for these conditions. • These children grow along percentiles specific to their condition.
Mid-Parental Height: • Children are usually in a percentile between their parents' height. • The Expected Height of the child as adult lies between ± 5 cm from the Mid-parental age: Girls: = [Mother’s Height + Father’s Height - 13] 2 Boys: = [Mother’s Height + Father’s Height + 13] 2

Causes: • Most common. • Normal Growth Velocity. • Non Pathologic.
Causes: Familial Short Stature Constitutional Growth Delay
Causes: Familial Short Stature • Short parents. • Born short. • Bone age (X-ray): Chronological age. • Puberty occurs at time. • No treatment is indicated.
Causes: Constitutional Growth Delay • Bone age is delayed. • Puberty is delayed. • Hx. of delayed puberty in parents. • Normal adult height. • May require short term therapy with androgens/estrogens.
Causes: Prenatal “ Primordial “ Postnatal
Causes: Prenatal “ Primordial “ • All parameters are affected; Height, weight, & head circumference. • IUGR. • Chromosomal: Down syndrome, Turner syndrome. • Skeletal dysplasia. Proportionate
Causes: Postnatal • Endocrine: • GH deficiency. • Hypopituitarism. • Cushing syndrome. • Chronic Diseases: • Cyanotic congenital heart diseases. • Celiac diseases, IBD, cystic fibrosis. • Chronic infections. • Chronic renal failure. • Psychosocial neglect: Height > Weight “Short & Fat” Weight > Height “Short & Skinny” Weight & Height are decreased Proportionate
Causes: Postnatal • Achondroplasia. • Rickets. • Hypothyroidism. Disproportionate

Assessment History Taking
History: • Antenatal History: • IUGR? • Any complications: pre-eclampsia, hypertension, anemia, maternal history of smoking, alcohol & infections, drugs? • Delivery: • Gestational age? • Mode of delivery? • APGAR score. • Complications? • Hypoglycemia.
