  • Title: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome complicating pregnancy.
    Author: González-Mesa E, Blasco M, Andérica J, Herrera J.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2012 Aug 01; 2012():. PubMed ID: 22854239.
    Abstract:
    The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects one or more limbs. It is characterised by cutaneous vascular nevi, venous malformations and hypertrophy of soft tissues and bone. There are very few cases reported in pregnant women, so the level of uncertainty is high when it appears during gestation. It is a disease that increases obstetric risk and can exacerbate complications, mainly thromboembolic and haemorrhagic. We report below the case of a pregnant woman diagnosed with this syndrome and the multidisciplinary management held in our centre.
