Unusual findings on infantile cortical hyperostosis: A case report

“…Infantile cortical hyperostosis commonly resolves on its own without treatment, usually within 6 months to first year of life. 2,5,27 The spontaneous healing is not expected in other pathological conditions. The panoramic and CBCT showed an almost total regression of the lesion, without any complication.…”

“…After 4 months, the lesion regression was noticeable and after 15 months the lytic area had disappeared. Infantile cortical hyperostosis commonly resolves on its own without treatment, usually within 6 months to first year of life . The spontaneous healing is not expected in other pathological conditions.…”

“…The possibility of being an infantile cortical hyperostosis determined the choice for a conservative treatment and close follow‐up. It is important to salient the early recognition, which helps to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention . According Kutt et al., a good history, clinical examination, basic laboratory studies, and plain radiographs are sufficient enough to confirm a diagnosis of this entity in most cases.…”

Mandibular Periostitis Ossificans in Immature Large Breed Dogs: 5 Cases (1999–2006)

“…7 Hence, excessive periosteal bone deposition, also called hyperostosis, occurs circumferentially on the appendicular skeleton, the mandible, and potentially any bone formed intramembraneously. [14][15][16] As the name implies, it begins early in infancy with bilateral swelling of soft tissues adjacent to the periosteum and cortical hyperostosis in multiple bones, with the mandibles involved about 75-80 % of the time along with clavicles, ulnae, ilia, ribs, and other bones of the skull. 8 Jaw swelling in an active puppy could be secondary to trauma.…”
