Abstract

Infantile cortical hyperostosis is a disease of infants which is characterized by formation of cortical subperiosteal new bone of the the body. Pain and soft tissue swelling over the affected parts, associated with fever and irritability, are found frequently with the disease. Usually self-limiting, it is not as a rule followed by any residual skeletal deformity. A case of Infantile cortical hyperostosis in three months-old baby was diagnosed and followed up to ten months.
