الملخص الإنجليزي
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 delayed as this
disorder mimics a wide range of diseases including osteomyelitis,
hypervitaminosis A, scurvy, bone tumors and child abuse. The
emphasis here is to remind clinicians about the existence of the
disease in this country.
