Epidural Hematoma related to lower limb pain and massive liver bleeding in Gorham-Stout disease: A case report.
Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare disease that causes massive osteolysis and proliferation of abnormal lymphangiomatous tissues. Patients with GSD often experience pain associated with bone fractures and chylothorax. However, bleeding caused by abnormal lymphangiomatous tissue or hematological dysfunction rarely occurs. ⋯ GSD infrequently causes bleeding related to abnormal lymphangiomatous tissues and coagulopathy, yet it can lead to serious events if it occurs.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyComputed tomography lesions and their association with global outcome in young people with mild traumatic brain injury.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can be accompanied by structural damage to the brain. Here, we investigated how the presence of intracranial traumatic computed tomography (CT) pathologies relates to the global functional outcome in young patients one year after mTBI. All patients with mTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale: 13-15) ≤24 years in the multi-center, prospective, observational Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI (CENTER-TBI) study were included. ⋯ Patients with a positive CT scan were less likely to achieve a complete recovery 12 months post-injury. The presence of any CT abnormality was associated with both lower GOSE scores (odds ratio [OR]: 0.39 [0.24-0.63]) and incomplete recovery (GOSE <8; OR: 0.41 [0.25-0.68]), also when adjusted for demographical and clinical baseline factors. The presence of intracranial traumatic CT pathologies was predictive of outcome 12 months after mTBI in young patients, which might help to identify candidates for early follow-up and additional care.
