Growth disorders in children encompass a range of conditions that affect normal growth and development. These disorders may manifest as growth failure, accelerated growth, or abnormal growth patterns. Identifying and diagnosing these disorders early is crucial, as they can indicate underlying medical conditions that may require prompt intervention. The course will explore the various causes of growth disorders, including genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic illnesses. Conditions such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, and constitutional delay in growth and puberty will be discussed in detail. Understanding the causes helps guide appropriate treatment and management strategies for affected children.
