Myoung Ju Yoo, Dong Ki Han, Jeh Hoon Shin, In Jun Seul, Seung Ro Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(9):1305-1311.   Published online September 15, 1994
We experienced one case of severe pituitary dwarfism in a 10 years old female girl. Magnetic resonance image(MRI) revealed transection of the pituitary stalk with the formation of high intensity ectopic posterior lobe located at the median eminence and agenesis of an anterior lobe of pituitary gland. The serum Growth Hormone(GH) response to clonidine and L-dopa revealed severe GH deficiency. The patient...

Thanatophoric dysplasia is a short limb dwarf condition in which respiratory distress is responsible for death in the first hours or days after birth. We experienced a case of thanatophoric dysplasia who presented striking disproportion of trunk and extremities. The head was relatively large, the trunk was narrow and normal length, and the extremities were markedly shortened. The radiologic feature of this dysplasia was characteristic....

Metatropic dwarfism is rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by short extremities, bulbous enlarge- ment of the joints, joint limitation and progressive and ultimately severe kyphoscoliosis. We have experienced one case of metatropic dwarfism. The diagnosis was established by clinical, radiological and pathologic findings. The patient was died six days after delivery. A brief review of literature was made.
Clinical Study on Growth Hormone Deficient Dwarfs.
Duk Hi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(5):597-606.   Published online May 31, 1988
34 patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency were studied. The affected males outnumber females in a proportion of 1.8 to 1. The chronological ages on diagnosis was average 9.4 years old and bone age was delayed with average 6.6 years old. The major cause of GH deficiency was idiopathic and organic causes such as craniopharyngioma, germinoma & Tb. meningitis were relatively uncommon. Cerebral anoxia seemed...
The Effect of Thyroid Hormone Deficiensy on Growth Hormone Levels.
Duk Hi Kim, Chan Il Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(1):64-71.   Published online January 31, 1988
Growth hormone and thyroid hormone are known to affect growth and development. The present experiment was undertaken to assess GH levels in the serum and pituitary gland of prophylthiouracil (PTU) treated rats. The serum concentration of T4 were decreased during PTU treatment. Serum GH concentration and pituitary GH content were decresed with severity of hypothyroid status. After withdrawl of PTU, their levels were recovered gradually. Acidophil...

The Dubowitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, postnanal growth retardation, peculiar facial appearance, short stature, low birth weight, microcephaly and borderline intelligence or mild mental retardation. We reported a typical case of the Dubowitz syndrome in a full term male infant together with a brief review of pertinent literatures since the incidence of the...

We have experienced a case of Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy in 22 hour old boy who had constriction of thorax and short extremities. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical features, radiological and autoptic finding. A brief review of the related literatures was also made.
Acromesomelic Dysplasia Syndrome.
Hyung Ro Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(1):98-104.   Published online January 31, 1984
A further case of acromesomelic dysplasia syndrome is reported in a twelve year old Korean boy born on January 15, 1971 at full term. His height was only 99.5 cm. on his visit to the outpatient department. The present case showed disproportionate shortening of the extremities, especially in the forearms, hands, shanks and feet together with most of the reported...
A Case of Thanatophoric Dwarfism.
Young Kyun Hwang, Soo Baeck LEE, Chong Dae Cho, Ju Kyeong Lee, Doo Seong Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(11):1129-1132.   Published online November 30, 1983
We experienced a case of Thanatophoric dwarfism. A 1870 gm male neonate was born after 31 weeks gestation to a 33 years old gravida 1mother with polyhydramnios. On physical examination, he was noticed micromelic dwarfism, narrow thorax, and saddle nose. We confirmed this case by physical examination and X-ray study. A brief review of literatures were presented.
A Case of Thanatophoric Dwarfism.

Thanatophoric dwarfism is a lethal congenital chondrodystrophy characterized by diminished vertebral body height, a narrow thorax, and micromelia. This report presents the clinical, radiographic and autopsy findings of an experienced case of thanatophoric dwarfism detected prenatally by radiologic examination and discusses the differentiation of this disorder from other forms of congenital short limbed dwarfism.
