Abstract

      Short stature is a common problem in children. Short stature occurred due to many causes; these causes may be genetic, environmental or chronic diseases. Diagnosis of short stature could be achieved by two combined ways, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Treatment of short stature depends on the right diagnoses and the causative agent.
