Background:

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital vascular anomaly.
It is characterized by a triad of port-wine stains (hemangiomas), venous malformations (varices), and bony or soft tissue hypertrophy.

Observation:

The authors present two clinical cases of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
Diagnostic and therapeutic protocols were carefully examined.

Findings:

Conservative management is frequently adequate for Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
Surgical intervention is typically reserved for severe presentations of the syndrome.

Implications:

This study highlights the importance of tailored treatment strategies for Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
