Abstract
Objective: This review aims to alert to the importance of correct stature assessment in pediatrics, demonstrating the wealth of information that this assessment can bring and guiding how to conduct clinical reasoning in the face of short stature complaints. Data sources: Scientific articles were searched in Pubmed and UpToDate databases between the years 2011 and 2020, giving preference to the most updated and didactic publications. Summary of findings: The topics covered were: definition of short stature; how to use the growth chart; what should be researched in the anamnesis; what to expect on physical examination; which complementary exams should be requested in a first evaluation and some causes of short stature. Conclusions: The complaint of short stature should be confirmed using the growth charts. Its approach involves a broad investigation, which includes, in addition to taking a careful clinical history and physical examination, radiological and laboratory tests, with the aim of detecting possible underlying diseases (mostly non-endocrine) that hinder growth.
