Prolonged Remission of Weber-Christian Syndrome in an Infant

Abstract

An infant with Weber-Christian syndrome is described in whom a sus tained remission was achieved with a short course of corticosteroids. In pre vious reports, children less than 2 years of age have continued to have frequent relapses over prolonged periods, but this case illustrates that sustained re- missions may be attained in infants with Weber-Christian syndrome.
