Caffey disease – an unusual neonatal presentation

A male infant was noted at birth to be fractious and have deformity of his distal limbs. A diagnosis of Caffey disease was made based on radiological appearances of hyperostosis. This usually benign, self-limiting condition should be considered as a diagnosis in a neonate with bony swelling. Early imaging and multidisciplinary team discussion may aid prompt diagnosis.
