Abstract

Four patients who presented with predominant or exclusive face and orbital involvement by de Toni-Caffey's disease are reported. Facial manifestations of infantile cortical hyperostosis may be the first and sometimes the only manifestation of the disease. A mandibular involvement is almost always present and its characteristic appearance leads to the diagnosis of de Toni-Caffey's disease.
