Abstract: Short stature is an important and complex disease in the field of pediatric endocrinology，so detailed evaluation and diagnosis are essential. Children with short stature need to be comprehensively evaluated from height，symmetry and growth rate，combined with detailed medical history collection，physical examination，laboratory tests and imaging examination. With the development of molecular genetic technology，the etiology of short stature has been greatly enriched，and accurate diagnosis has been further realized. The etiology of short stature is complex，and appropriate means should be selected according to the actual situation to clarify the diagnosis.
