Causes and Treatment of Dwarfism

Dwarfism is classified into two types: congenital dwarfism and acquired dwarfism. The former is often caused by congenital developmental abnormalities or genetic diseases, possibly resulting from autosomal recessive inheritance. Acquired dwarfism can be secondary to hypothalamic-pituitary disorders. For patients diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), the treatment plan will be determined based on the need, including head CT or MRI scans to understand if there are any organic changes in the hypothalamus-pituitary region, particularly important for diagnosing tumors. Dwarfism is largely hereditary, but due to the relatively low possibility of being caused by acquired factors, there is still a possibility of inheritance through generations.
