Since the availability of biosynthetic human growth hormone (hGH) in 1985, many studies on the effects of hGH administration on various groups of children with short stature have been performed. The present study reports on the psychological evaluation of children with short stature after intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) , before and after two years of hGH treatment. Prior to the description of the study, the terms 'short stature' and 'intrauterine growth retardation' will be defined and possible etiological factors will be discussed.
