Dwarfism

Meredith Eaton is four feet tall on the dot which equates to 1.22 meters. She suffers from a form of dwarfism called pseudoachondroplasia spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia or just pseudoachondroplasia or PSACH. It is a kind of dwarfism that affects bone growth and stunts the height of the patient.

This dwarfism is only about very short height and does not affect head size, intelligence, and facial features – in fact, according to Rarediseases.org, pseudoachondroplasia patients have attractive faces.

The average female pseudoachondroplasia patient is 3 feet 9 inches tall which means Eaton is on the tall side as she is 3 inches taller than this average. To give you a clearer picture of Eaton’s height, she is four inches taller than arguably the most known dwarf on earth Peter Dinklage.
