The parietal and frontal bones are rarely affected in infantile cortical hyperostosis.
METHODS

A patient with Schnitzler's syndrome is described presenting with fever of unknown origin. Although he had all characteristic features of the syndrome (urticarial vasculitis, hyperostosis, lymphadenopathy, fever and serum IgM monoclonal component), it was recognized very late in the diagnostic
A 43-year-old woman with a 3-year history of headache, fever, and swelling of the forehead, presented to our hospital. A general examination revealed palmar and plantar pustules. Blood analyses showed an elevated white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Infantile cortical hyperostosis (ICH) or Caffey-Silverman disease is affection that attained skeleton most frequently flat bones, contiguous fasciae and muscles. We reported the case of a 3 months old female infant of Mauritanian origin, referred for recurrent osteitis of the left clavicle. The
The idiopathic periostal hyperostosis with dysproteinemia shows typical symptoms: acute onset with high fever and severe pain in the forearms and the praetibial area, periostal reaction along the ulnae and tibiae accompanied by hypalbuminemia and alpha2-globulin increase. The clinical entity has yet
Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) is characterized by radiological evidence of cortical hyperostosis, soft tissue swellings, fever and irritability. We report a case of Caffey disease highlighting its presentation as pyrexia of unknown origin, appearance on radionuclide bone
Infantile Cortical Hyperostosis, or Caffey-Silverman disease, is a rare condition characterised by generalised bone proliferation mediated by an acute inflammatory process. Diagnosis can be made through clinical evaluation and X-ray studies. The course is generally self-limiting and prognosis is
Rationale: Dysphagia is a common presenting symptom in elderly people. Nevertheless, dysphagia resulting from diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) of patients' cervical spine may be due to several factors. Despite computed
A 59-year-old man with hypertension developed general fatigue, fever, and precordialgia in early March 2007. An antibacterial agent was intravenously administered; however, no improvement in his symptoms or laboratory findings was observed. He had acne and pustulosis, and radiographs and CT of the

Caffey disease or Infantile Cortical Hyperostosis (ICH) is a rare and mostly self limiting condition affecting young infants. It is characterized by acute inflammation of the periostium and the overlying soft tissue and is accompanied by systemic changes of irritability and fever. Diagnosis may be
The common side effects associated with the use of prostaglandins in newborn infants include apnoea, hyperthermia, diarrhoea, skin flushing and oedema. Periosteal reaction or cortical thickening of the bones, also known as cortical hyperostosis, is associated with a prolonged use of prostaglandins.
A 62-year-old man visited our hospital with a mild sore throat, high-grade fever, and clavicular pain. Seven years earlier, he had been diagnosed with synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome. His clavicles were tender and remarkably swollen. Also noted was marked
Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare disease; however, more and more case reports have been published that increase the awareness of this disorder, especially in children. Clinically it presents as a combination of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis
