[Gorham-Stout syndrome--progressive osteolysis with viscerocranial involvement].
Two rather young patients with spontaneous massive mandible osteolysis are presented, i.e. a woman suffering from a rhinogenous liquor fistula and recurrent meningitides, and a young man. The authors discuss etiology, pathologic anatomy, clinical and radiological course, as well as the combined surgical and radiotherapeutical treatment. The pathologic process shall be stopped by the combination of both therapy methods. A radiation dose of 30 to 50 Gy is recommended.
