title: [Recurrent multifocal periostosis in childhood. 2 case reports (author's transl)].
abstract: Two children (4 2/12 and 7 years old, respectively) presented with features of recurrent multifocal periostosis. Radiologic findings consist of periosteal appositions, preferentially located on the long bones and are associated with general and local inflammatory signs. No causal agent can be identified. Complete clinical recovery occurs spontaneously sometimes after several relapses. The relationship between these patients' history and Caffey's syndrome is discussed.
