Endoscopic Endonasal Dural Reconstruction for a Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak in the Middle Cranial Fossa of a Patient with Gorham-stout Disease with Skull Base Defect. NMC Case Rep J 2022; 9:55-61. [PMID: 35493538 PMCID: PMC9020871 DOI: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2021-0319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
We report the use of endoscopic endonasal surgery for dural reconstruction following a cerebrospinal fluid leak in a 33-year-old patient with recurrent meningitis since at age of 2 years. Magnetic resonance imaging showed osteolytic changes in the left temporal and sphenoid bones, including the left pterygoid plate, a few left temporal encephaloceles, and cerebrospinal fluid-like fluid in the expanded Meckel's cave and the parapharyngeal space. After endoscopic endonasal surgery, Gorham-Stout disease was diagnosed. No recurrence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage or meningitis has been observed. Thus, endoscopic endonasal surgery might improve clinical outcomes in patients with Gorham-Stout disease and skull base defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare progressive osteolytic disorder, theoretically caused by lymphovascular endothelial proliferation. Spinal involvement carries a dismal prognosis because of neurological consequences. Lesions of the skull base are extremely rare and entail even more devastating prognosis due to cervical instability and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Due to scarcity of this condition, the aim of this study was to give an overview of skull base GSD and review the cases with such condition reported in the literature. METHODS In this case-based review, different aspects of skull base GSD are discussed, and a sample clinical case of GSD leading to cranial settling and rhinorrhea is presented. The characteristics, symptoms, and managements of all English-language PubMed-reported cases were reviewed, and different features of presentation and methods of treatments were analyzed. RESULTS Based on the literature review, most of the cases encountered serious problems in the course of the disease. Meningitis/CSF leakage was detected in 12 of 26 collected cases, followed by hearing loss/tinnitus/otitis media in 10 cases, headache in 8, and neck pain/stiffness in 8 patients. Despite a variety of treatments, improvement was only observed in 8 of 26 collected cases. The reminders showed either stable condition or worsening and death. CONCLUSION All cases of GSD of the skull base should be evaluated for rhinorrhea/otorrhea and cranial settling, both of them being among the most life-threatening conditions. Since definite treatment, in order to stop disease progression, is sometimes impossible, symptomatic and supportive treatment should be started as possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review assessed the radiographic extent of maxillofacial Gorham's disease and its impact on recurrence. STUDY DESIGN PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched. The key words were (Gorham Disease OR Vanishing Bone Disease OR Gorham Stout Syndrome) AND (Jaw OR Maxilla OR Mandible OR Maxillofacial). RESULTS Forty-one cases from 39 articles were included. Based on radiographic extent, the lesions were classified as large or small. Most cases occurred in the mandible (24), followed by a combination of maxilla and/or mandible and other bones (12), both mandible and maxilla (3), and maxilla only (2). Only mandibular cases were analyzed for radiographic extent. Of the 24 mandibular lesions, 16 were large and 8 were small. Nine of the large lesions occurred in the young age group with 2 recurrences, followed by 5 in the middle-aged group with 1 recurrence. Small lesions were nearly equally distributed over the age groups, with 2 recurrences in the middle-aged group and 1 recurrence in the adult age group. Age, sex, and lesion size had no significant effect on recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Radiographic extent of the lesion does not impact recurrence, suggesting a possible existence of aggressive and nonaggressive variants of maxillofacial Gorham's disease.

Management of Gorham Stout disease with skull-base defects: Case series of six children and literature review. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2019; 124:152-156.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare lymphatic disorder which results in bone destruction. Defects of the skull base are difficult to manage, we describe cases to better understand the disease and discuss treatment. METHODS Retrospective study including all patients treated for GSD skull-base defects. Medical records, clinical, imaging and treatment data were studied. A systematic review of the literature included case reports of the diseases for further analysis. RESULTS 6 patients (5 males, 1 female) were included. Mean age at diagnosis was 3.5 years (range 0-10). Follow-up was of 5.2 years. Patients were divided into Naso-temporal (NT) and Vertebro-temporal (VT) groups following anatomical location. NT patients (4 patients) all had petrous defects extending anteriorly, including sphenoid, ethmoidal and mandibular defects. They all had cerebro-spinal fluid leak (CSF) and recurrent meningitis (range from 3 to 7). Two of those patients had sequelae including deafness, paralysis and epilepsy. VT patients (2 patients) all had temporal, occipital bone and cervical vertebrae defects. None had CSF leaks but both died from medullar compression (preceded by tetraparesis in one case). Overall, five out of six patients had type I Chiari malformation. Interferon seemed to be the most efficient medical treatment. Surgery included petrectomy, endonasal surgery for CSF leak management and neurosurgery for medullar management but could not guarantee long-term effects. CONCLUSION Main issues in skull base defects are CSF leaks and medullar compressions. Surgical treatment is necessary in both cases but can only be satisfactory if general medical treatment can stabilise the disease.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to systematically review all published cases of Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) involving the jaws and to identify the clinico-radiological and histopathological features associated with persistence of the lesions, as well as the best treatment options available. An electronic search was undertaken in November 2018. Eligibility criteria included publications with sufficient information to confirm the diagnosis. Eighty-six publications reporting 89 cases were included. Features observed included symptomatic disease (51.1%), swelling (34.1%), pathological fracture (31.8%), history of previous trauma (32.1%), high alkaline phosphatase levels (24.3%), and predominance of vascular tissue (72.4%). Nearly a quarter of the patients were only followed up, with no treatment implemented. Most treatments consisted of some type of surgery with/without additional therapies (42.0%), drugs (20.5%), and radiotherapy (14.8%). Half of the cases were found to persist after some treatment modality, and five patients died. Among the variables investigated, only a lesion crossing the midline showed an association with persistence of the disease. There remains much to understand about GSD, a rare condition with no clear consensus on the aetiopathology, an unpredictable clinical course, and no standard treatment. The high rate of persistence after treatment was found to be associated only with the lesion crossing the midline.

Abstract
Gorham disease, a rare disorder of unknown etiology, is characterized by the clinical and radiologic disappearance of bone. Because the etiology is unknown, diagnosis is difficult. Therefore, radiographic manifestations play a vital role in the diagnosis of this disease. Thus far, there has been no completely effective treatment. Most remedies are limited to symptom management. Despite the fact that any bone can be affected, one of the most prevalent sites is the maxillofacial region. In this paper, 2 cases of Gorham disease involving the maxillofacial region are reported, including preoperative and postoperative radiographic features.
