title: Bilateral symmetrical clavicular periosteal reactions in a child.
abstract: A case of bilateral symmetrical periosteal reactions of the lateral halves of the clavicles in a child with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is presented. The appearances correspond with no previously recorded condition. The differential diagnosis most likely lies between aborted Salmonella osteomyelitis or a form fruste of subacute symmetrical osteomyelitis.
