Abstract
Aim: To expand the treatment options in paediatric Gorham-Stout syndrome (GSS) when conventional therapy is ineffective. Method: Two children with biopsy confirmed GSS, a rare disorder with progressive lymphangiomatosis, were treated with a combination of interferon-alpha-2b, low anticoagulant, low molecular weight heparin, radiotherapy and surgery. Results: The combined therapy resolved the symptoms in the acute phase, and both patients have since been free of symptoms for >2 years. Conclusion: The successful addition of a low anticoagulant, low molecular weight heparin ( tafoxiparin) to the treatment protocol in two paediatric cases of the GSS may justify the use of this approach in similar cases.
