Luego de una evaluación detallada por parte de un equipo multidisciplinario, que se basó en el cuadro clínico y el estudio radiográfico, se diagnosticó el síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay. El paciente ha mantenido una evolución favorable hasta el momento actual y se continúa un estricto seguimiento médico.

Klippel-trénaunay syndrome - a very rare and interesting syndrome.

Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS or KT) is an infrequently seen dermatological syndrome, which is often viewed as a triad of vascular malformation (capillary malformations or port-wine brands), venous varicosity, and soft tissue and/or bony hypertrophy. We report a case of a 12-year-old male who presented to us with the symptoms of varicose plaques over both lower limbs and was diagnosed as a case of KTS. Management is normally conservative and includes stockings for compression of the branches to reduce edema because of chronic venous insufficiency; modern devices that cause on and off pneumatic compression; and rarely, surgical correction of varicose veins with lifelong follow-up. The orthopedic abnormalities are treated with epiphysiodesis in order to prevent (stop) overgrowing of limb and correction of bone deformity.

A Case Report of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome

The association of varicose vein, soft tissue and bony hypertrophy and cutaneous hemangi-oma of the port-wine variety confined to one extremity was first reported in 1900 by Klippel and Trenaunay, and then Weber. A case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome with macrodactylia in a 2 months old male infant(dizygotic) is presented who was asmitted to B.N.U.H. with chief complaints of nevus fla-mmeus, swelling of the left lower extremity.
