Massive Axial and Appendicular Skeletal Deformities in Connection with Gorham-Stout Syndrome.


ABSTRACT: : Background: Etiological understanding is the corner stone in the management of skeletal deformities. Methods: Multi-centre study of patients with deformities in connection with diverse etiological backgrounds. We aimed to study four patients (one boy and three girls) with variable axial and appendicular deformities in connection with a vanishing bone disorder. Results: Axial deformities such as scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis, compressed fused vertebrae, appendicular fractures, dislocations, and vicious disorganization deformities of the joints were in connection with the vanishing bone disorder, namely Gorham-Stout syndrome. Conclusions: It is mandatory to establish proper clinical and radiological phenotypic characterization in children and adults presented with unusual skeletal deformities. Identifying the reason behind these deformities is the key factor to draw a comprehensive management plan.
