[Psychosocial dwarfism in three siblings].
Three siblings with deprivation dwarfism are described. Special investigations did not reveal any pathological findings apart from retarded bone age in two children and metaphyseal growth lines. The three siblings demonstrated immediate catch-up growth after removal from the deprivating environment. Problems of etiology, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
