    Abstract:
    The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder consisting of: cutaneous vascular nevi, varicose veins or venous malformations and hypertrophy of soft tissue and bone, affecting one or more limbs. The morbidity of the disease is associated with vascular anomalies. Pregnancy is discouraged because this rare disease puts a pregnant woman in an increased obstetric risk, due to pregnancy can exacerbate complications. The pregnancy has been reported rarely in patients with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, although the incidence is unknown. Until 2006 there have been only 17 reported cases of pregnancy in patients with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in the literature in English. We report the case of the second pregnancy of 22 years old woman with this disease.
