Abstract
Through a review of all cases seen during the last 5 years, 20 practicing paediatricians
were able to identify 40 cases who satisfy the diagnostic criteria for FPAPA. Recurrence
range was between 3 and 6 weeks and overall duration from 1 to 6 years. 12 cases were
successfully treated with a single dose of steroids, 12 underwent surgery and were all cured,
1 was treated with inhalatory steroids and recovered. The remaining 12 recovered
spontaneously.
