Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. A case report

Abstract

The vascular congenital abnormalitys are difficult to classify by the similar clinical symptomatology in each one of them. The syndrome of Klippel-Trenaunay (SKT) is defined by the three classic symptoms, cutaneous capillary Hemangioma, underlying varicose veins and hypertrophia of soft weaves or bony weaves of an extremity. The first cases were described by Klippel and Trenaunay in 1900, by the name of varicose osteohypertrophic nevus and later Weber in 1918 communicated other three patients with such associated clinical findings to deep arteriovenous fistulas, reserving for these the name of syndrome of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber or Parkes Weber. We report a case of a female patient 21 years old who developed syndrome of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber.
