  1. hypophysial dwarf

    A hypophysial dwarf is an individual characterized by extremely short stature, caused by a deficiency in the production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland (hypophysis). The deficiency can be either congenital or acquired, and it generally results in proportional dwarfism, meaning the person's bodily proportions are normal despite their short stature.
