Klippel Trenaunay 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.

Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

We present here two-term neonates presenting with right lower limb hypertrophy, a port-wine stain, acral abnormalities and clubfeet. These neonates had overlapping features of Klippel Trenaunay syndrome and congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformation, epidermal nevi and scoliosis/skeletal abnormalities. Such overgrowth syndrome has not been previously described in the literature. Both the neonates are doing well and are under regular follow-up.

Mr Angiogram

A 30 years gentleman presented with anaemia since last ten years due to recurrent rectal bleeding. He has had multiple admissions with transfusions in the preceding 10 years without a clear clinical diagnosis. His physical examination revealed gross pallor, prominent veins on the lateral side of the left lower limb with minimal hypertrophy and a hemangiomatous patch over the left buttock. Colonoscopy revealed a few dilated tortuous submucosal vessels in the rectum and sigmoid colon. A MR angiogram showed absent left popliteal vein and angiomatous lesions in the rectum and sigmoid colon. He was diagnosed to have Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome with hemangiomata of the lower gastrointestinal tract causing bleeding. He underwent a low anterior resection with stapled anastomosis, which has effectively controlled his bleeding. Adults with gastrointestinal bleeding due to congenital venous malformations commonly have visible external stigmata, which are often pointers of rare syndromes.

AIM: This is to report a case of Klippel Trenauay Weber syndrome in a fifteen year old Nigerian boy. This is a rare syndrome and it is the first case to be reported in UCTH Calabar.CASE PRESENTATION: Product of a full term uneventful pregnancy, delivered to non-consanguineous apparently healthy parents. At birth was noted to gradually develop swelling on the right leg, worse at the right foot. There was crossed hemi-hypertrophy with right leg bigger than the left. As child grew symptoms worsened, parents separated and eventually he was abandoned to the streets. He presented at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital for medical care at the age of fifteen years with lymphatic obstruction, persistent foul smelling drainage, lipodermatosclerosis of right foot as well psycho-social and financial constraints. The diagnosis was made with x-rays and Doppler studies of the lower limb vessels. He is currently being managed conservatively with compression dressings on the affected limbs, Antibiotics for the infection and analgesics. De-bulking surgery is being anticipated at this time.CONCLUSION: This is a case of KTWS presenting in adolescence and due to its rarity in Nigeria, this report is to increase awareness.
