When the growth plates have not yet closed, direct hormonal stimulation of endochondral bone formation takes place, leading to proportional increase of bones in both length and width. The overgrowth of bones from hypersecretion of growth hormone that occurs after the growth plates have fused is termed acromegaly ; this abnormality affects predominantly the hands, feet and lower jaw. Other forms of excessive growth include cerebral gigantism, elephantoid hypertrophy of an entire limb or finger in neurofibromatosis , local soft tissue and bone gigantism in Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome macrodystrophia lipomatosa and lipoatrophic diabetes .

Dodge, MD came to Washington University School of Medicine/St. Louis Children's Hospital in 1967 from the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts to Chair the Edward Mallinckrodt Department of Pediatrics, a position he held until 1986. Dr. Dodge is one of the modern founders of the specialty of Pediatric Neurology in the United States. After receiving his medical degree from the University of Rochester in 1948, he continued his clinical education in internal medicine there and in neurology and neuropathology at the Boston City Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Dr. Dodge is a member of the American Neurological Association, American Academy of Neurology, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Epilepsy Society, Child Neurology Society, International Child Neurology Association, Society for Pediatric Research, American Pediatric Society, serving as officer of or as committee chair for several of these organizations throughout his membership. He received the Hower Award from the Child Neurology Society in 1978 and the Distinguished Service Award from the Washington University Medical Center Alumni Association in 2000. His interest in children led to his focusing upon child neurology. In collaboration with pediatric colleagues he pursued studies of altered osmolatity of body fluids on function of the nervous system, studied the development and persistence of subdural effusions, and initiated his long standing retrospective and prospective investigations of acute bacterial meningitis on the brain. Acute childhood encephalopathies, transient blindness after minimal trauma, cerebral gigantism, unilateral pupillary dilation with seizure, the bobble-head doll syndrome were among the conditions that arrested his attention and early description. Studies of nutrition and the developing brain culminated in publication of a book authored by Drs. Dodge, Prensky, and Feigin.
