Coming soonShort stature in a child born small for gestational age (SGA) is a pediatric endocrine and growth disorder characterized by persistent height deficits following intrauterine growth restriction.
The affected population comprises children born with a birth weight, length, or both that fall significantly below expected normative percentiles for gestational age—typically at least two standard deviations below the mean.
Clinically, it is defined by a failure to achieve spontaneous catch-up growth into the normal reference range, leaving the child’s height at or below two to two-and-a-half standard deviations below the mean for age and sex by two to four years of age.
Pathophysiologically, this persistent impairment involves abnormalities in the growth hormone–insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis, growth plate cellular dynamics, or associated epigenetic and genetic factors governing skeletal elongation.
