Dwarfism
Dwarfism is a condition characterized by a height considerably below what is expected for one's age, which may be due to genetic factors, alterations in bone growth, or hormonal deficiencies, among other causes.
Possible features: In addition to short stature, depending on the origin there may be differences in body proportions or slower-than-usual growth during childhood.
When is an assessment advisable? It is reasonable to consult when a child's growth departs markedly from what is expected or deviates from their usual curve.
Which specialist evaluates it? The pediatrician usually monitors growth, and the endocrinologist, especially the pediatric endocrinologist, studies hormonal causes. If you are concerned about your child's development, raising it with a specialist allows for guidance appropriate to each case.
