Infantile cortical hyperostosis, also known as Caffey's disease, presents benignly with characteristic clinical and radiological signs. Familial occurrence suggests a potential hereditary basis for this rare condition.

Area of Science:

Pediatrics
Radiology
Genetics

Background:

Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey's disease) is a rare disorder affecting infants.
Diagnosis typically relies on clinical presentation and radiographic findings.

Observation:

A case of Caffey's disease presented with typical clinical and radiological features.
The condition exhibited a benign, self-limiting course without the need for specific interventions.

Findings:

Radiological data confirmed the diagnosis of infantile cortical hyperostosis.
The disease appeared in multiple family members, indicating a possible hereditary component.

Implications:

The findings support the consideration of genetic factors in the etiology of Caffey's disease.
