    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Skeletal Dysplasias
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey's disease) is a rare, self-limiting condition affecting infants.
    • Characterized by subperiosteal new bone formation and characteristic clinical features.
    • Etiology remains incompletely understood, with genetic and environmental factors proposed.

    Observation:

    • Presents six documented cases of infantile cortical hyperostosis in infants.
    • Detailed clinical observations and radiographic findings for each case.
    • Analysis of presenting symptoms, including irritability, fever, and soft tissue swelling.

    Findings:

    • Discusses the prevalence and incidence of Caffey's disease based on presented cases and literature review.
    • Explores potential origins, including genetic predispositions and possible environmental triggers.
