Severe prenatal infantile cortical hyperostosis lpar;Galley's diseaserpar;

摘要

We describe three cases of prenatal infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffe's disease) from two families, all associated with maternal poyhydraminos, Case 1 (family 1) was an early neonatal death after delivery at 27 weeks gestation, case 2 (family 2) an intrauterine death at 33 weeks, Case 3 (family 2) had limited skeletal involvement and followed a course typical for Caffey's disease. Only six cases of prenatal Caffey's disease with extensive skeletal involvement have previously been described, Polyhydraminios was reported in all but one and the condition was lethal unless pregnancy reached term. To our knowledge cases 2 and 3 reported here represent the first description of Caffey's disease in which the prenatal lethal form was not sporadic.
