Abstract
MAFFIA, Silvia Adriana; COSTA, Lidia Ester and SILBER, Roberto. Hiperostosis cortical infantil, una enfermedad para tener en cuenta. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2004, vol.102, n.2, pp.125-127. ISSN 0325-0075.
Infantile cortical hyperostosis is an uncommon osteopathy, which is characterized by fever, irritability, swelling of soft tissues and cortical hyperostosis of the underlying bones. The disease usually occurs before the fifth month of life. The cause remains unknown. We report a 3-month old boy who was admitted because of swelling of right shoulder and mandible.
