title: A case of infantile cortical hyperostosis.
abstract: Infantile cortical hyperosteosis (ICH) is usually a self-limited disease of infancy with bony changes, soft tissue swelling, fever, irritability, decreased appetite, and decreased movement of the affected bones. Its description in isolated patients or in multiple members of families suggests the existence of two different forms, namely a sporadic form and a familial form with incomplete penetrance. In this article, we report a 2.5-month-old girl with ICH of sporadic form, due to unusual presentation.
