syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome involving enlarged veins and arteries, limb hypertrophy and capillary malformations. In 1900, French physicians, Klippel and Trenaunay, first described what became known as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome after two patients presented with a triad of symptoms — port-wine stain, varicose veins, and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy involving an extremity (Klippel ...

BACKGROUND Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare syndrome; unfortunately, very few studies of the connection between hypersplenism, nephrotic syndrome, and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome have been published. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 40-year-old white man with a typical clinical presentation of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, including "port-wine stains," varicose vei...

Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome has 3 essential features: cutaneous hemangiomas, varicose veins and hypertophy of the involved limbs in length or girth, or both. Both bones and soft tissue are usually affected by the hypertrophy. The arteriovenous malformation effects are polysystemic. Patients with this syndrome are at risk of thromboembolic disease. Baskerville’s report shows that 7 (14%) of 49 pa...

A 23-year-old female with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome presented with abdominal pain and severe anemia. Colonoscopy revealed diffuse venous congestion extending circumferentially from the midsigmoid to the rectum, with multiple large varicosities. This case emphasizes that Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome may have visceral manifestations beyond the classic presentation, which can be a significant sourc...

BACKGROUND Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a non-heritable venous malformation with bone and soft tissue hypertrophy and cutaneous nevi. CASE CHARACTERISTICS Neonate with Klippel Trenaunay syndrome born to a mother with past history of Gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. OBSERVATION Antenatally, a fetal vascular malformation was identified ultrasonologically at 29 weeks gestation. Acute myelo...

A 10-year-old girl with features of Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome developed a large left frontoparietal subdural hemorrhage. CT angiography and cerebral angiography identified prominent subependymal veins and deep venous system predominantly in the left cerebral hemisphere in association with a dilated left vein of Labbe and hypoplastic superior sagittal sinus. No arteriovenous malformation or fis...

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare cutaneous vascular disorder characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb hypertrophy. We report the prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome including fetal limb hypertrophy and large subcutaneous cystic lesions. Prenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasound examination...

INTRODUCTION Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital mesodermal abnormality characterized by bone and soft tissue hypertrophy, extensive hemangioma and venous abnormalities. We report the case of a patient with two additional rare clinical manifestations in the background of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, namely, acanthocytosis and splenic and retroperitoneal lymphangioma. CASE PRESENTAT...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com sometimes it may occur as an autosomal dominant trait [1,2]. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome is a cutaneous vascular malformation affecting the development of blood vessels, soft tissues and bones [3]. This is a non-heritable disorder which is present at birth and usually involves lower limb but may involve more than one limb and a portion of the t...
