📋Overview
Constitutional Growth Delay involves a temporary slowing of skeletal maturation and physical development during the childhood years. This growth pattern is recognized as a variation of normal development rather than a pathological disorder, as children typically grow at a slower rate but for a longer duration than their peers.
The condition is characterized by a temporary delay in height progression and physical maturity, often resulting in the later onset of sexual development. This clinical presentation is distinct from growth failure caused by underlying medical diseases, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances.
