Аннотация
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.
