[Cortical infantile hyperostosis. Report of a case and revision of the literature]
Abstract:
We describe a case of infantile cortical hyperostosis or Caffey-Silverman's disease. This is the fourth case reported in the national literature and the third one in our Hospital de Pediatría of the National Medical Center. We made an extensive review of the national and international literature and we defined the characteristic findings in this pathologic entity. We analyzed the etiologic possibilities, which are not yet clear and emphasized the role of the genetic factors. We suggest to investigate intentionally the asymptomatic colaterals, on the way to establish the real frequency of the disease.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
