title: [Growth disorders in children].
abstract: The paper presents several remarks on the diagnosis of the growth disturbances in the child, with emphasis on the dwarfism entity by emotional deprivation. The study was performed on two comparative groups. The age of the children ranged between 1 and 3 years. 22 cases (49%) were of deficiency dwarfism, 5 cases of primordial dwarfism (12%), 6 cases (14%) of dwarfism secondary to organic lesions (meningitis, blue asphyxia at birth), 4 cases (8%) of constitutional dwarfism, 8 cases (16%) of idiopathic dwarfism, possible by emotional deprivation. The paper classifies the main causes of dwarfism, reports the diagnosis criteria and emphasizes the importance of detecting, as early as possible, the dwarfism by emotional deprivation, since these disturbances reverse when the child enters a corresponding affective medium.
