Video Summary
Constitutional growth delay (CGD) is a condition in which some children grow slowly during early childhood and puberty compared to their peers. CGD is the most common cause of short stature in children and pubertal delay in adolescents. It is considered a normal variation to growth because individuals with constitutional growth delay usually end up achieving normal adult heights by adulthood.
