Abstract
- The article explains that infantile cortical hyperostosis or Caffey's disease classically presents in infants less than 5 months of age, though has also been reported to occur in utero. Mandibular involvement is seen in 75-80%. Radiological findings are diagnostic; however, other conditions with similar clinicoradiological features such as scurvy, osteomyleitis, syphilitic osteochondritis, hypervitaminosis A, metastatic neuroblastoma, and battered baby syndrome need to be excluded. Treatment is palliative with NSAIDs, and sometimes steroids.
