Background:
Caffey's disease is a rare syndrome, usually self-limiting, affecting newborn and young infants. On radiological exams, the cortical hyperostosis is always present, associated or not to soft tissue swelling. Other radiographic presentations are described as lytic areas.
Aim:
This article has the objective to relate computed tomography (CT) findings of Caffey's disease, where lytic lesion on mandibular angle was the principal radiological manifestation.
Methods And Results:
Three-dimensional reconstructions were performed to demonstrate the initial aspect and the healing process.
Conclusion:
This report shows unusual radiological characteristics of Caffey's disease on CT and its progressive resolution.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
