A RARE CASE OF SEIZURE WITH RARE CAUSE- GORHAMS DISEASE

Vanishing bone disease (Gorham-Stout syndrome) is a rare entity of unknown etiology , characterized by destruction of osseous matrix and proliferation of vascular structures, resulting in destruction and absorption of bone. The syndrome can affect one or multiple bones of the patient, including the skull, mandible, the upper and lower extremities, the spine and pelvis. The mandible is one of the most common bones concerned and its invasion undergoes partial or complete dissolution and spreads across joints to contiguous bones or involves the nearby soft tissues. If the disease involves the spine or skull base, it can be associated with neurological complications. So the physicians should be aware of the existence of this rare entity as a cause of seizure and reliably direct affected patients to right diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
