Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) presents with fever and swelling. This case highlights its unusual presentation and limited response to Ibuprofen treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Skeletal Dysplasias

Background:

  • Infantile cortical hyperostosis, or Caffey disease, is a rare disorder.
  • Characterized by bone overgrowth, soft tissue swelling, fever, and irritability.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing Caffey disease presenting as pyrexia of unknown origin.
  • Radiological findings including cortical hyperostosis and soft tissue edema.
  • Radionuclide bone scintigraphy revealed characteristic uptake patterns.

Findings:

  • The case underscores the diagnostic challenges of infantile cortical hyperostosis.
  • Ibuprofen, a prostaglandin inhibitor, provided unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
  • This suggests limitations in managing symptoms with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering Caffey disease in infants with unexplained fever and irritability.
  • Suggests further research into optimal pharmacological management strategies.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging in diagnosing skeletal abnormalities in neonates.
