Dwarfism: Problems other than short statured

» QuartzNH - Problems other than short statured

Yes, when someone has dwarfism, there are usually psychical problems. It depends on the type of dwarfism, and what's related. My type of dwarfism is a little rare compared to your average Achondroplasia. I have what you call, Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplaisia Congentia. A big word for a small person. Some of the conditions related to my dwarfism, is Cleft Palate, problems with the spine, hearing loss (due to cleft palate) Detached Retina should be checked for every year, and other difficulties. If you would like to learn more about Dwarfism I encourage you to check out LPAonline.org LPA is Little People of America.
