Aim:
To describe two children with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with cholestatic hepatic disease. Both patients suffered from chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease and developed digital clubbing, polyarthritis and periosteal reaction. In one of them, clinical and radiological features normalized after liver transplant.
Conclusion:
Hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare disabling condition that responds poorly to conservative management, while liver transplantation appears to be the only effective therapeutic intervention.
