Children with growth failure, whether secondary to an endocrinopathy such as growth hormone deficiency or secondary to neurological handicap with poor nutrient intake, grow at a subnormal rate but it is most unusual for a child to have complete growth arrest.
生长发育迟缓的儿童,无论是继发于诸如生长激素缺乏等内分泌疾病,还是继发于伴有营养摄入不良的神经功能障碍,其生长速度均低于正常水平,但儿童出现完全性生长停滞的情况极为罕见。
