Gigantism and acromegaly are two medical conditions caused by high levels of growth hormone. Gigantism is a condition involving abnormally tall stature, which occurs prior to growth plate closure, whereas acromegaly occurs during adulthood when older patients are exposed to high levels of growth hormone. In this lesson, we discuss the clinical features of both of these conditions, including how they are diagnosed and how they are treated.\n
