How To Identify Problem In Shoulder Bone Of A Baby?
Hi, Caffey s disease suspicion is diagnostically proven by a good radiological examination which means a good x-ray of the part. A biopsy may prove that, but at the same time, I do not recommend such an invasive investigation for a simple disease like caffey s disease. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
