Lymphatic Malformation

From Johns Hopkins

(Good) Viagra news that won't be made into a joke:

In very early reports, sildenafil - best known under the brand name Viagra and sold as a treatment for erectile dysfunction - reduced the size of growths in three children with lymphatic malformation, a disease that causes spongy cysts to swell and clog up the lymphatic system.

Viagra was originally developed to treat high-blood pressure and became popular due to a beneficial side effect in males.

Plaudits to Stanford doctors  for discovering and now researching another side effect that could make a great difference in a few children's lives.
