Background: Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that can cause increased intracranial pressure (ICP) secondary to cranial hyperostosis, which decreases intracranial volume. Surgical procedures to reduce ICP in medically refractory cases include intracranial volume expansion and ventriculoperitoneal shunting.
Observations: The authors present the case of a pediatric patient with CED and medically refractory increased ICP who underwent unilateral hemicraniectomy with titanium cranioplasty, resulting in a complete long-term resolution of symptoms.

Camurati-Engelmann Disease (CED), or Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the Gene, essential for bone regeneration. This study examines the genotype-phenotype relationship in a family diagnosed with CED, specifically focusing on a missense variant (c.653G>A, p.

Ribbing's disease is a rare form of sclerosing bone dysplasia characterized by exuberant yet benign endosteal bone, and periosteum formation in the diaphysis of long bones. Diagnosis relies on exclusionary criteria, as the primary clinical manifestations entail progressive pain unresponsive to analgesic therapy, accompanied by serological markers within normal ranges. Pain management constitutes the cornerstone of treatment, with surgery appearing to offer the most efficacious approach, despite the absence of a standardized therapeutic algorithm.
