The diagnosis of psychosocial dwarfism in a 9 year-old boy with severe growth retardation (-6 1/2 standard deviations) was deduced from the typical history. The bone age was severely retarded and in the first days after admission a deficiency of growth hormone and other pituitary hormones was established. The change in environment per se led to a spontaneous reversal of the growth hormone deficiency within a short time. A rapid catch up growth was observed over the subsequent 2 1/2 years, as well as a normalisation of the psychological retardation.
根据典型病史推断，一名9岁严重生长迟缓（低于正常标准6.5个标准差）男孩被诊断为心理社会型侏儒症。其骨龄严重滞后，入院后的最初几天确定存在生长激素及其他垂体激素缺乏。环境本身的改变在短时间内使生长激素缺乏症自发逆转。在随后的2年半时间里观察到快速追赶生长，同时心理发育迟缓也恢复正常。
