Síndrome de Caffey-Silverman

In the most common form, onset usually occurs around the age of 2 months. Frequent symptoms are fever, painful swelling of soft tissues, fever, irritability and general pain. Imaging studies show massive subperiosteal new bone formation that spontaneously resolves by the age of 2 years, normally with no apparent sequels. There are other severe forms of this disease but their incidence is much lower. Treatment of the most common form of Caffey disease is symptomatic (antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs). We report a case of Caffey disease in an infant who is under follow-up in our hospital.
