Auxology and response to growth hormone treatment of patients with intrauterine growth retardation or Silver‐Russell syndrome: analysis of data from the Kabi Pharmacia International Growth StudyActa Pædiatrica, 82
We describe 3 children with Russell-Silver syndrome without growth hormone insufficiency who were treated with growth hormone for 2, 3.7 and 6 years, showing a rapid growth acceleration. After cessation of growth hormone treatment, they grew at a normal rate without ‘catch-down’ growth. It may be possible that short intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR) children with dysmorphic features respond to growth hormone therapy differently from non-dysmorphic IUGR short children. Short-term growth hormone treatment for children with Russell-Silver syndrome may avoid side effects and diminish costs.
