  • Title: [Celiac disease and short stature].
    Author: Magazzù G, Sferlazzas C, Ruggeri C, De Luca F.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1984; 6(1):115-9. PubMed ID: 6531229.
    Abstract:
    The Authors analyze the prevalence (30,8%) of short stature in 39 coeliac patients at variable age. Height defect was especially remarkable in the subjects diagnosed after the fourth year of life. In 8 out of the studied coeliac patients, short stature was the only clinical sign at the time of diagnosis. Nevertheless, remote anamnesis revealed the existence of classical gastroenteric symptoms during the first 2 years of life. The Authors extensively report the clinical history of a coeliac girl who had been initially considered and treated as hypothyroid.
