The human body goes through a number of complex changes during infancy, childhood, and adolescence. This chapter provides an overview of normal growth and puberty and discusses the investigation and management of deviation from the expected ‘normal’ trajectory. Key areas of paediatric endocrine medicine, such as pituitary, hypothalamic, and thyroid pathology, are discussed. This chapter is by no means an exhaustive guide to paediatric endocrine medicine but provides an introduction that will aid clinical practice.
