  • Title: An atypical case of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome presenting with crossed-bilateral limb hypertrophy and postaxial polydactyly: a case report.
    Author: Al-Najjar RM, Fonseca R.
    Journal: BMC Pediatr; 2019 Apr 06; 19(1):95. PubMed ID: 30954069.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the clinical triad of capillary malformations (port wine stains), varicose veins with or without venous malformations, and bony and/or soft tissue hypertrophy. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report the first case of a one-day-old male with KTS presenting with crossed-bilateral limb hypertrophy and post-axial polydactyly. CONCLUSION: This case serves to highlight the variable presentation and multiple problems faced by patients with KTS and why multidisciplinary management is mandatory.
