Short stature
This document provides information on short stature, including defining it as height below the third centile or more than 2 standard deviations below the median height for age and gender. It discusses assessing short stature by accurately measuring height, assessing height velocity, comparing to population norms and genetic potential. It also classifies short stature and discusses differential diagnosis, management, and approaching a case scenario.

- 7. 1. ACCURATE HEIGHTMEASUREMENT ABOVE 2 YEARS • Using stadiometer • Standing upright which heels, buttocks, shoulder blades and back of heads are in contact with vertical surface • Head piece is kept firmly over the head to compress BELOW 2 YEARS • Using infantometer or measuring table • Holding the infant straight on horizontal board in supine position • Knees and legs keep straight • Bulky diapers, harpin, braids, are removed!
- 8. 2. ASSESSMENT OFHEIGHT VELOCITY • Rate of increase in height over a period of time expressed as cm/year AGE AVERAGE OF HEIGHT VELOCITY 1ST YEAR 25cm/yr 4-9 year ( prepubertal children) 4-6cm/yr During puberty 10-12cm/yr • If the velocity is lower than expected age, child is suffering from pathological stature
- 9. 3. COMPARISON WITHPOPULATION NORMS • Height must be plotted on growth chart and expressed in centiles or standard deviation score
- 10. 4. COMPARISON WITHCHILD’S OW GENETIC POTENTIAL • Parents height affects child’s height • Estimation of child’s genetic potential is by mid parental height (MPH) • Value is plotted on chart to observe whether the target will be reached or not MPH BOYS = MOTHER’S + FATHER’S HEIGHT (CM) + 6.5CM 2 MPH GIRLS = MOTHER’S + FATHER’S HEIGHT (CM) - 6.5CM 2

- 16. FAMILIAL SHORT STATURE •Child is short as per definition but normal according to genetic’s potential determines by parents height. • Catch down growth (birth-2years), so that height and weight lies normal within MPH • Subsequently growth velocity is normal • Body proportionate, bone age are equals to chronological age • Born small and remain small
- 17. CONSTITUTIONAL SHORT STATURE (IDIOPATHIC) •Born with normal height and weight for first 6-12 months of life • Then shows deceleration • By 3yr of age, normal height velocity is resumed and continue to grow just below or parallel to 3rd centile • Onset of puberty and adolescent growth is delayed, but final height is normal • Bone age is lower than chronological age • History of delayed puberty from one or both parents

- 21. ENDOCRINE • Growth hormonedeficiency, insensitivity • Hypothyroidism • Cushing syndrome • Pseudohypothyroidism • Precocious or delayed puberty
- 22. SKELETAL DYSPLASIA • Inbornerror in the formation of bone and cartilage • Can be sporadic or inherited • Associated with abnormal skeletal proportion ans severe short stature (except hypchondroplasia) Warwick Davis

- 24. PSYCHOSOCIAL DWARFISM • Alsoknown as emotional deprivation dwarfism, maternal deprivation dwarfism or hyperphagic short stature • Seen in children with unhappy homes • Characterized by functional hypopituitarism indicated by low IGF-1 and inadequate response of GH stimulation • Need to be nurtured with love and affection
- 25. CHILDREN BORN SMALLFOR GESTATIONAL AGE ( SGA) • Birthweight below the 10th centile for gestational age can be caused by maternal, placetal or fetal factor • Most of them shows catch up at age of 2yrs • 20-30% of babies born SGA fail to show improvement and remain short • Subtle defect in growth hormone and insulin like growth hormone ( GH-IGF) axis are considered responsible
