title: A novel treatment approach for paediatric Gorham-Stout syndrome with chylothorax.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To expand the treatment options in paediatric Gorham-Stout syndrome (GSS) when conventional therapy is ineffective.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two children with biopsy confirmed GSS, a rare disorder with progressive lymphangiomatosis, were treated with a combination of interferon-α-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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
