Insights
Caffey's disease in infants can present with significant periosteal and soft tissue abnormalities on MRI. These findings are crucial for diagnosis, even when other imaging is inconclusive.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Radiology
- Skeletal Dysplasias
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Caffey disease, also known as infantile cortical hyperostosis, is a rare condition.
- Diagnosis can be challenging due to variable imaging findings.
Abstract:
An infant with Caffey's disease is discussed, whose presentation included marked periosteal and soft tissue findings on MR with minimally noncharacteristic plain radiographs and bone scintigraphy.
