A Case of Sporadic Caffey`s Disease(Infantile Cortical Hyperostosis) Without Mandibular Involvement
Byoung Lae Oh, Seung Woo Paik, Wan Seob Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(9):1294-1299.   Published online September 15, 2000
Caffey`s disease(infantile cortical hyperostosis) is an uncommon benign and self limited disorder of unknown etiology, affecting the skeleton and its contiguous fasciae and muscles. Its occurrence in isolated cases or in multiple members in families suggests the existence of two different forms, namely a sporadic form and a familial form. The tibia is the predominant bone known to be affected...

Two Cases of Successful Treatment with Atropine Sulfate in Persistent Vomiting beyond Pyloromyotomy of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyrolic Stenosis
Won Jung Kim, Min Jung Kim, Woo Jae Jo, Jae Young Kim, Sung Won Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(5):704-709.   Published online May 15, 2000
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis(IHPS) is the most common condition requiring abdominal surgery in early infancy, and is caused by hypertrophied pyloric muscle. The development of successful surgical treatment in the early 1900s by Fredet and Ramstedt made it possible for infants worldwide to survive. Modern pediatric anesthetic techniques have virtually eliminated mortality from surgical management. Atropine sulfate is a cholinergic...
