Abstract

A 12-year-old girl is brought in by her mother, who is concerned because her daughter is short even compared with other family members. She estimates that her daughter has grown less than 3 cm ( 1 in) in the past year andasks if she should receive growth hormone-a treatment that was recently mentioned in a newspaper article. The girl has no significant past medical illness or family history of disease that might be associated with short stature and is free of symptoms. She is a good student and has not been subjected to physical or verbal bullying at school. Her father is 170 cm (5 ft 10 in) tall (10th percentile for a man), and her mother is 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) tall (25th percentile for a woman). Neither was a "late bloomer." On physical examination, the prepubertal girl has no signs of disease. Her height is 133 cm (4 ft 4 in) (. 5th percentile for age), and her weight is 35 kg (77 lb) (25th percentile).
矮小身材的管理。
一个12岁的女孩被她的母亲带进来,她的母亲担心她的女儿甚至比其他家庭成员都矮。她估计她的女儿在过去的一年里长了不到3厘米(1英寸),并询问她是否应该接受生长激素治疗——一种最近在报纸文章中提到的治疗方法。该女孩没有明显的既往医学疾病或可能与身材矮小相关的家族史,且无症状。她是一个好学生,在学校没有受到身体或语言上的欺凌。她的父亲身高170厘米(5英尺10英寸)(男性的第10百分位),她的母亲身高160厘米(5英尺3英寸)(女性的第25百分位)。两人都不是“大器晚成者”。在体格检查中,这个青春期前的女孩没有任何疾病的迹象。她身高133厘米(4英尺4英寸)。年龄第5百分位),体重35公斤(77磅)(第25百分位)。
