Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

Area of Science:

• Vascular Medicine
• Medical Imaging
• Genetics

Background:

• Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a congenital vascular malformation.
• KTS classically presents with a triad of port-wine stains, varicose veins, and limb hypertrophy.
• Diagnosis can be challenging due to variable clinical manifestations.

Observation:

• A 20-year-old female presented with a limp and right leg swelling.
• Doppler ultrasonography revealed dilated arteries and increased blood flow velocity in the affected limb.
• The patient's clinical presentation was further evaluated with nuclear medicine and radiological imaging.

Findings:

• Diagnostic imaging confirmed findings consistent with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.
• The case underscores the utility of advanced imaging in diagnosing KTS.
• Specific radiological and nuclear medicine findings supported the KTS diagnosis.

Implications:

• Early and accurate diagnosis of KTS is crucial for appropriate management.
• Understanding the vascular anomalies in KTS aids in predicting disease progression.
• This case contributes to the literature on KTS diagnostic modalities.
