    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Caffey's disease, also known as infantile cortical hyperostosis, is a rare condition affecting infants within the first five months of life.
    • The condition is characterized by subperiosteal new bone formation.

    Observation:

    • This report details four case studies illustrating the varied presentations of Caffey's disease.
    • The study discusses the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management strategies for this condition.

    Findings:

    • Caffey's disease may be increasing in frequency.
    • The mandible is affected in over 90% of cases, posing diagnostic difficulties.

    Implications:

    • Oral surgeons are likely to encounter more cases of Caffey's disease.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to avoid complications.
