ABSTRACT

Cortical hyperostosis is a situation where it can be observed a diffuse periosteal neoformation that produces the thickening of the bone cortex and the tumefaction of the soft tissues that surround it. Its etiology may be originated from a genetic, infectious, traumatic, metabolic, neoplastic, physiological, or iatrogenic source. Clinical case. A six-year old girl suffering from infantile maltreatment. The X-ray study showed a Grade I Salter and Harris’ epiphysis slipping implying 100% of the humerus head, as well as an image of the humerus diffuse subperiosteal neoformation and certain sequels of left humerus condyle epiphysis slipping. A diagnosis of post-traumatic cortical hyperostosis was obtained, and it progressively decreased up to a six-month period, when it disappeared. We have analyzed this entity physiopathology and reviewed the related literature.
