Abstract

Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) is characterized by spontaneous episodes of subperiosteal new bone formation along 1 or more bones commencing within the first 5 months of life.It is featured by acute inflammation of periosteum and overlying soft tissue which causes fever. Sometimes it can present as fever without focus. Generallyit is treated by sole acetaminophen having a good outcome. An 8 month old boy came with multiple tender non-suppurative swelling over various areas of face and limb with mild fever for prolong duration. The lesions were diagnosed to be infantile cortical hyperostosis by radiological profile showing new bone formation, periosteal reaction, sclerotic changes without osteolytic appearance after ruling out common infective causes like epidemic parotitis. He was treated by oral acetaminophen syrup which proved to be adequately effective on follow up after 4 wks.
