The objective of this study was to study the clinical profile of the children with pathological short stature and to study the various causes for pathological stature Methods: Retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Paediatrics, Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, where the data of Children who met the inclusion criteria were collected from the case records of 2 years period from Jan 2013 to December 2014. Data collected was tabulated and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: Commonest age group affected was 10 years. 48% were males and 52% were females. Commonest causes were Hypothyroidism and genetic disorders, followed by nutritional and musculoskeletal. 58% were proportionate and 42% were disproportionate. Conclusions: Endocrinological and genetic syndromes are most common etiologies for pathological short stature.
