Hypotonia, or low muscle tone, is common in dwarfs, but intelligence and lifespan are usually normal. Defining dwarfism by height alone is problematic because short stature in itself is not a disorder. For example, pygmies have adult male heights of less than 150 cm (4 feet 11 inches) on average.efining dwarfism by height alone is problematic because short stature in itself is not a disorder.

1 Cuts, burns, skin infections, rashes and insect bites may cause lymph nodes to get larger. 2  Swollen lymph nodes on the front of the neck could mean your child has a cold or throat infection.  Swollen lymph nodes in the groin could mean your child has an injury near their lower abdomen or legs.
The neck contains a large number of lymph nodes, known as the cervical lymph nodes and many are superficial and easily palpable (can be felt by touch). A swollen neck lymph node is not uncommon and frequently occurs in children, even when there is no disease or obvious cause present. With age, the incidence of enlarged neck lymph nodes declines except when it is due to some pathology. The most common cause for swollen neck (cervical) lymph nodes is an infection. While most incidents of cervical lymph node enlargement is self-limiting and resolves quickly, some may persist for a longer time and may need more active management.
