This topic defines short stature (height 2 standard deviations below the mean) and outlines the diagnostic evaluation for children and adolescents. The primary goal is to distinguish normal variants of growth (familial or constitutional short stature) from pathologic causes (e.g., Turner syndrome, systemic disease, or hormonal abnormality). The text details steps in evaluation, including calculating height velocity and determining bone age, and notes substantial sex differences in referral patterns.
