SHORT STATURE: CASE REPORT (PROBLEM BASED PATİENT REPORT)

Abstract

Short stature is a very frequent problem in pediatric clinics. In this report 6 years old short statured patient is discussed about etiologic factors. The patient was admitted with the symptoms of growth retardation, nocturnal enuresis and recurrent abdominal pain for a year. On physical examination, weight was 10-25 p whereas height was < 3 p. On evaluation, short stature was patologic and proportional. After the exclusion of prenatal causes, we examined the patient for postnatal factors causing short stature. Patient was evaluated for renal disease due to urinary tract infection and 5th degree vesicoureteral reflux was detected. After treatment with oxybutynin and antibacterial prophilaxis, height of the patient was increased to 3-10 p at the 5th month follow up.
