Caffey disease was initially considered as the diagnosis because the patient displayed fever and hyperostosis of multiple bones with elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates and C-reactive protein and alkaline phosphatase levels. However, we suspected child abuse based on the clinical and radiological features. We eventually found out that the child had been injured through child abuse and were able to treat him. We report this case because child abuse cases may be confused with Caffey disease. This case report can, therefore, help distinguish between Caffey disease and child abuse.Du-Yeon LeeWoo-Jong KimByungsung KimJae-Hwi NhoChang-Hwa HongSang-Mi LeeIk-Dong YooChangeui LeeKi-Jin JungMDPI AGarticlechild abusehyperostosiscorticalcongenitalMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 12269, p 12269 (2021) |
