Acromicria
Definition
A rare pathological clinical condition, considered the opposite of acromegaly, characterized by the unusually small size and insufficient development of the body's extremities (hands, feet, facial bones). This structural syndrome is most often caused by congenital pituitary dysfunctions, diencephalic lesions, or severe secretory disorders of trophic hormones during growth.
