Hello Everyone,
How do we differentiate between dwarfism and cretinism?
Just remember GIRL
G- Growth- Reduced in both
I- IQ- Normal in pituitary dwarfism and decreased in cretenism
R-Reproduction-Absent or delayed puberty in both
L-Limbs- Proportionate in Dwarfs and Disproportionate in cretins.
(C follows D)(cretins have disproportionate limbs)
What are features seen in a cretin?
Remember 5P's
That's all,
Thank you,
Chaitanya Inge
