ABSTRACT
Parkes Weber syndrome is a rare congenital vascular disease characterized by capillary venous, arterio-venous and lymphatic malformations accompanied by bone or soft tissue hypertrophy in the affected body area. Lymphatic insufficiency and venous ulcers may occur as a result of increased venous pressure, caused by arterio-venous shunts. Parkes Weber syndrome is an infrequent cause of leg ulcers in childhood. Since arterio-venous malformations can lead to serious complications, it is important to recognize and start treatment immediately.
