A Rare Case of Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome

The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare form of a birth disorder that includes capillary malformation, hypertrophy of bones and soft tissues, and tortuous varicosities, as well as hypertrophy of the capillaries resulting in hemangiomas and port wine discoloration. KTS is also known as angioosteohypertrophy syndrome and dysplastic angiopathy. In this case report, we describe the case of a 13year-old female with multiple superficial varicosities on the medial aspect of her left leg since birth. Computed tomography angiogram assessed and identified abnormal venous drainage in the lower limb. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) differs from KTS in that KTWS involves arteriovenous malformations.
