DISORDERS OF GROWTH

Height

Short stature

A father is worried that his 13-year-old son is short. The child has been very healthy. He is below the 5th percentile for height and has been all his life. Physical exam is normal. Father is 6 foot 3; mother is 5 foot 10. Father was a “late bloomer.”

Constitutional growth delay—child is short prior to onset of delayed adolescent growth spurt; parents are of normal height; normal final adult height is reached; growth spurt and puberty are delayed; bone age delayed compared to chronological age.

Familial short stature—patient is parallel to growth curve; strong family history of short stature; chronologic age equals bone age.

Pathologic short stature—patient may start out in normal range but then starts crossing growth percentiles. Differential diagnosis: craniopharyngioma, hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism, nutritional problems, and other chronic illnesses.

Tall stature

Usually a normal variant (familial tall stature)

Other causes—exogenous obesity, endocrine causes (growth hormone excess [gigantism, acromegaly], androgen excess [tall as children, short as adults])

Syndromes—homocystinuria, Sotos, Klinefelter

Weight

Organic failure to thrive

A baby weighs 16 pounds at 1 year of age. Birth weight was 8 pounds. He has irritability, diarrhea, and abdominal distension. He was doing well until age 9 months when he started to eat the food that the rest of the family eats. His length curve is just starting to flatten.

Chapter 3 λ Growth and Nutrition

Causes include malnutrition, malabsorption (infection, celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, disaccharide deficiency, protein-losing enteropathy), allergies, immunodeficiency, and chronic disease

Initial diagnostic tests (when organic causes are suspected)—document caloric intake, CBC, urinalysis, liver function tests, serum protein, sweat chloride, stool for ova and parasites

Clinical Recall

An 8-year-old boy has been under the 2nd percentile for height all of his life. Hand x-ray for bone age assessment reveals a bone age of 8 years. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

A.Hypothyroidism

B.Constitutional growth delay

C.Familial short stature

D.Chronic illness

E.Poor nutritional status

Answer: C

USMLE Step 2 CK λ Pediatrics

Non-organic failure to thrive

A 4-month-old infant presents to the emergency department because of upper respiratory symptoms. The patient is <5th percentile in weight and length. He is 3.5 kg. Birth weight was 4.2 kg. The mother states that the child takes 16 oz of infant formula per day with cereal added. Physical exam reveals a baby with little subcutaneous fat, long dirty fingernails, impetigo, and a flat occiput.

Emotional or maternal deprivation plus nutritional deprivation leads to neglect (psychosocial deprivation); also look at socioeconomic and intelligence issues of parents

Clinically, children are thin and wasted-appearing and may have poor hygiene; developmental delays, social delays (no eye contact, no expression); feeding aversion

Major emphasis of diagnosis is not on medical testing but on showing that child can gain appropriate weight with good care (may need hospitalization)

Report all cases with respect to maternal neglect to Child Protective Services (CPS); require long-term intervention

Obesity

Risk factors—predisposition, parental obesity, family/patient inactivity, feeding baby as response to any crying, and rarely associated in syndromes (Prader-Willi; Down)

Presentation—tall stature in some, abdominal striae, associated obesity of extremities; increased adipose tissue in mammary tissue in boys, large pubic fat pad, early puberty

Diagnostic tests—BMI >85% signifies overweight to obese

Complications—Obese infants and children are at increased risk of becoming obese adults (the risk is greater with advanced age of onset); cardiovascular (hypertension, increased cholesterol), hyperinsulinism, slipped capital femoral epithesis, sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, acanthosis nigricans.

Treatment—exercise and balanced diet; no medications

FEEDING

A normal newborn has sufficient stores of iron to meet requirements for 4–6 months, but iron stores and absorption are variable. Breast milk has less iron than most formula, but has higher bioavailability.

Formula is supplemented with vitamin D; breastfed infants must be supplemented from birth (400 IU/d)

Vitamin K is routinely given intramuscularly at birth, so no supplementation needed

Both breast milk and formula are 90% H2O, so no additional H2O needed

Chapter 3 λ Growth and Nutrition

Breastfeeding

A nursing mother asks if her 3-month-old baby requires any vitamin supplementation.

Most infants can breastfeed immediately after birth and all can feed by 4–6 months. The feeding schedule should be by self-regulation; most establish by 1 month.

Advantages

Psychological/emotional—maternal-infant bonding

Premixed; right temperature and concentration

Immunity—­ protective effects against enteric and other pathogens; less diarrhea, intestinal bleeding, spitting up, early unexplained infant crying, atopic dermatitis, allergy, and chronic illnesses later in life; passive transfer of T-cell immunity

Decreased allergies compared to formula fed

Maternal—weight loss and faster return to preconceptional uterine size

Contraindications: HIV; HBV; CMV; HSV (if lesions on breast); acute maternal disease if infant has no disease eg, tuberculosis, sepsis; breast cancer; substance abuse

Drugs: (absolute contraindications) antineoplastics, radiopharmaceuticals, ergot alkaloids, iodide/mercurials, atropine, lithium, chloramphenicol, cyclosporin, nicotine, alcohol

Drugs (relative contraindications) neuroleptics, sedatives, tranquilizers, metronidazole, tetracycline, sulfonamides, steroids

No contraindication with mastitis

Clinical Recall

For which of the following new mothers may breastfeeding be recommended?

A.A woman with HIV

B.A woman with mastitis

C.A woman taking lithium for bipolar disorder

D.A woman with breast cancer on chemotherapy

E.A woman suspected to be using drugs of abuse

Answer: B

Note

Mothers with HBV infection are free to breastfeed after the neonate has received the appropriate recommended vaccinations against HBV.

Note

Do not give cow milk to infants age <1.

Formula Feeding

Infant formulas. Formula feeding is used to substitute or supplement breast milk. Most commercial formulas are cow-milk–based with modifications to approximate breast milk. They contain 20 calories/ounce. Specialty formulas (soy, lactose-free, premature, elemental) are modified to meet specific needs.

Cow milk (whole milk) should not be introduced until after the full first year of life. Introduction of cow milk <1 yr promotes iron-deficiency anemia (low Fe in cow milk plus low bioavailability; also causes erosion of GI mucosa, leads to blood loss and therefore Fe loss).

Advanced feeding—Stepwise addition of foods (one new food every 3−4 days)

SOLIDS

Iron-fortified cereal only at 4-6 months (when infant is developmentally able to take cereal by spoon)

Step-wise introduction of strained foods (vegetables and fruits), then dairy, meats (6-9 months; stage I pureed and stage II chunkier)

Table foods at 9-12 months

No honey in first year of life—infant botulism

Development 4

Chapter Title

Learning Objective

Explain information related to primitive reflexes and developmental milestones

OVERVIEW

Development includes 5 main skill areas: visual-motor, language, motor, social, and adaptive.

Assessment is based on acquisition of milestones occurring sequentially and at a specific rate: each skill area has a spectrum of normal and abnormal

abnormal development in one area increases likelihood of abnormality in another area, so careful assessment of all skills is needed

developmental diagnosis is a functional description/classification and does not specify an etiology

Developmental delay is performance significantly below average, i.e., developmental quotient (developmental age/chronologic age × 100) of <75; may be in ≥1 areas; 2 assessments over time are more predictive than a single assessment

Major developmental disorders

Intellectual disability: IQ <70–75 plus related limitation in ≥2 adaptive skills, e.g., self-care, home living, work, communication

Communication disorders (deficits of comprehension, interpretation, production, or use of language)

Learning disabilities, one or more of (defined by federal government; based on standardized tests): reading, listening, speaking, writing, math

Cerebral palsy

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Autism spectrum disorders
