Two cases are presented of congenital Caffey's disease in premature babies. The first baby was hydropic at birth and had cortical hyperostosis involving the mandible and long bones of right upper limb and both lower limbs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Caffey disease An autosomal dominant condition MIM 114000 characterised by fever, inflammation, swelling of affected bones (tibia, mandible, ulna and facial bones) and restlessness.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Fever and pain may be managed expectantly. In a reported case, naproxen given as a prostaglandin inhibitor was successful in treating one case of recurrent infantile cortical hyperostosis.[posna.org]
It is characterized by a triad of systemic symptoms (irritability and fever), soft tissue swelling and underlying cortical bone thickening.[omjournal.org]

When the ribs are affected, costal hyperostosis can be associated with an ipsilateral exudative pleuraleffusion. Bony rib fusion may occur and lead to scoliosis.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Location The flat bones are most commonly affected: mandible: in 75-80% of cases clavicles scapula: 10% of cases ribs: lateral aspect; ipsilateral pleuraleffusion may appear calvaria ilia The ulnae are the long bones most commonly affected.[radiopaedia.org]

This treatment helps to provide adequate time for the infant to mature in preparation of surgical intervention. However, cortical hyperostosis can occur as a complication of long-term treatment (4-6 wk).[emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment: Most cases do not require active treatment. Fever and pain may be managed expectantly. In a reported case, naproxen given as a prostaglandin inhibitor was successful in treating one case of recurrent infantile cortical hyperostosis.[posna.org]
Treatment and prognosis As noted above, Caffey disease is self-limiting and resolves spontaneously. Palliative treatment consists of NSAIDs, e.g. indomethacin.[radiopaedia.org]
Treatment is usually conservative. The course of the illness is generally benign and recovers completely in many cases without treatment by 1 year.[crimsonpublishers.com]
Abstract Prognosis of congenital infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey's disease) is poor particularly in premature babies. Two cases are presented of congenital Caffey's disease in premature babies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prenatal form is rare and has a poor prognosis. The prenatal form has been described as a more severe, congenital form of Caffey disease that is probably inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment and prognosis As noted above, Caffey disease is self-limiting and resolves spontaneously. Palliative treatment consists of NSAIDs, e.g. indomethacin.[radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis [ edit ] Infantile cortical hyperostosis is a self-limited condition, meaning that the disease resolves on its own without treatment, usually within 6–9 months.[en.wikipedia.org]

Etiology: A mutation in the COL1A1 gene has been identified in patients with Caffey disease. This mutation may allow the periosteum to separate from the bone in infancy, leading to the typical clinical findings.[posna.org]
