Caffey Disease Presenting as Unilateral Scapular Swelling
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) is a rare entity characterized by a triad of bone changes, soft tissue swelling and irritability. It usually presents in infants within first five months of their life with no specific gender or racial predilection. The entity is self-limited in majority of the cases and the treatment is symptomatic. It is primarily diagnosed on the basis of characteristic radiographic features and clinical data. Thus, it is important to keep the differential of Caffey disease in mind when an infant presents with the characteristic triad to prevent further unnecessary investigations.
