Long-Term Management and Maxillofacial Growth in a Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome Patient

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital disorder associated with capillary, venous, lymphatic vascular malformations, and unilateral hypertrophy of the soft tissue and bone. We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with KTS who was followed up until age 17. The asymmetry of her maxillary dentition became remarkable with growth, although no significant left-right difference in either the maxilla or mandible was recognized. Acceptable occlusion was achieved without fixed orthodontic appliances; however, it was necessary to develop treatment plans in accordance with the general symptoms of the disease.
