Abstract
The use of prostaglandin-E1 (PGE1) to maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus in infants with ductal-dependent congenital heart disease is now well established. A 2.5-month-old child with cyanotic heart disease who required long-term PGE1 infusions; developed widespread periosteal reactions during the course of therapy. Prostaglandin-induced subperiosteal hyperostosis should now be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal cortical proliferation.Entities:
