Abstract
Report of the 10th case of infantile cortical hyperostosis (ICH), diagnosed in utero. Because of a hydramnion noted in the 29th week of gestation, a 38 year old pregnant women was admitted to hospital. Ultrasound, radiographs of the unborn child and amniography were obtained. The radiographic and clinical signs of Caffey's disease are reviewed, and the literature, particularly reports on prenatal onset are analyzed. The present 'etiologic theories' are discussed.
