Infantile cortical hyperostosis (ICH) secondary to prostaglandin E1 infusion in a newborn with complex cyanotic heart disease: a case report

Infantile cortical hyperostosis (ICH), also known as Caffey’s disease, is a benign self-limiting condition affecting young infants. The initial symptom of the classical ICH is usually irritability, fever and soft tissue swelling affecting one or more bones. Diagnosis is usually delayed because its c...
