  https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/klippel-trenaunay-syndrome/

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a condition that affects the development of blood vessels, soft tissues (such as skin and muscles), and bones. The disorder has three characteristic features: a red birthmark called a port-wine stain, abnormal overgrowth of soft tissues and bones, and vein malformations. […] Most people with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome are born with a port-wine stain. This type of birthmark is caused by swelling of small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Port-wine stains are typically flat and can vary from pale pink to deep maroon in color. In people with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, the port-wine stain usually covers part of one limb. The affected area may become lighter or darker with age. Occasionally, port-wine stains develop small red blisters that break open and bleed easily.

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital (present at birth) vascular anomaly that results in your child having a large number of abnormal blood vessels. Doctors can sometimes see evidence of KTS in a prenatal ultrasound, and the capillary malformation (in the form of a „port-wine stain” birthmark) is almost always apparent at the baby’s birth. KTS often has three characteristic signs: Capillary malformation covering one or more limbs (arm or leg), Hypertrophy — or excessive growth — of a limb (usually a leg), Abnormal blood vessels, including veins, capillaries and lymphatic vessels (vessels that drain fluid that leaks from arteries and veins and return that fluid to the bloodstream). KTS affects different kids in different ways. One child may have a mild form of the syndrome with a small capillary malformation and one hand or foot slightly larger than the other. Another child may have a capillary malformation that runs from their chest down their leg, lots of swelling and one limb that is much larger than the other. Symptoms of KTS include: Blood clots, Cellulitis (infections in the skin) — your child may be more prone to infection because they are more likely to bleed easily as a result of the abnormal capillaries near the surface of their skin, Anemia due to blood loss from easy bleeding, Pain and heaviness of the affected limb, often severe, Difference in size between the affected and non-affected limb, Lymphatic abnormalities such as cysts and swelling, Swollen veins. […] KTS is a progressive condition, which means that it will grow as your child grows. That said, many kids — especially those with mild cases of KTS — go on to live normal, healthy lives. Treatment for your child’s symptoms is the most effective way to manage the disease.

  Klippel Trenaunay syndrome is cutaneous vascular malformation syndrome involving a triad of capillary and venous malformation and limb hypertrophy. This is a rare syndrome with a wide spectrum of clinical findings that can manifest during infancy and can progress throughout childhood and adulthood. […] Klippel Trenaunay syndrome primarily involves the capillary, venous and lymphatic systems to varying degrees with tissue and bone hypertrophy. This condition predominantly affects the lower limbs and unilaterally affects the right and left sides equally. In rare cases, upper extremity, head and neck area, and bilateral involvement may be seen. […] Capillary manifestations are flat, red, or purple capillary port-wine stains and are seen in 90 to 100% of cases. This is usually the first clinical finding present at birth and enlarges as the child grows.

  KlippelTrnaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital vascular bone syndrome characterised by a triad of signs; these being: Capillary vascular malformation (port-wine stain), Venous malformation (eg, varicose veins), Limb hypertrophy (usually affecting only one extremity). […] One or more capillary vascular malformations (port-wine stains) are present in the overwhelming majority of patients with Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome and this is usually the first noticeable feature. Commonly, the capillary malformation occurs over the affected hypertrophic limb, but it can also be present at other sites. Rarely, the affected area can blister and bleed. […] Varicose veins are a common feature of KlippelTrnaunay syndrome. They tend to be larger than normal varicose veins and they can be painful. Varicose veins may not be present initially. They usually become noticeable in late infancy, childhood, or adolescence. Deep veins can also be affected, increasing the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

  People who have KTS may have the following features, which can range from mild to more extensive: […] Port-wine stain. This pink to reddish-purple birthmark is caused by extra tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the top layer of skin. The birthmark often covers part of one leg but can involve any portion of the skin. It may get darker or lighter with age. […] Vein malformations. These include swollen, twisted veins (varicose veins), usually on the surface of the legs. Deeper malformed veins in the arms, legs, abdomen and pelvis also can occur. There may be spongy tissue filled with small veins in or under the skin. Malformed veins may become more prominent with age. […] Overgrowth of bones and soft tissue. This begins in infancy and may be limited to one leg, but it can occur in an arm or, rarely, in the trunk or face. This overgrowth of bone and tissue creates a larger and longer extremity. Rarely, there may be fusion of fingers or toes or extra fingers or toes.

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome symptoms include a port-wine stain, long limb and swollen foot. […] People with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome may have a port-wine stain, long limb, swollen foot and varicose veins. […] Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome symptoms affect your veins, capillaries, soft tissues, bones and lymph vessels in these ways: Capillary malformation (CM). KTS causes a port-wine stain birthmark, which happens when capillaries swell directly beneath your skin. These birthmarks may be the first sign of KTS and vary from light pink to deep wine-red. As you age, these can develop blisters or lighten or darken. […] Vein malformation (VM). Almost everyone with KTS has venous malformations. These may occur in superficial veins, leading to varicose veins on your calves and thighs. They can also happen in deeper veins, which may increase your risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is also associated with overgrowth of bones and soft tissues beginning in infancy. Usually this abnormal growth is limited to one limb, most often one leg. However, overgrowth can also affect the arms or, rarely, the torso. The abnormal growth can cause pain, a feeling of heaviness, and reduced movement in the affected area. If the overgrowth causes one leg to be longer than the other, it can also lead to problems with walking. […] Malformations of veins are the third major feature of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. These abnormalities include varicose veins, which are swollen and twisted veins near the surface of the skin that often cause pain. Varicose veins usually occur on the sides of the upper legs and calves. Veins deep in the limbs can also be abnormal in people with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Malformations of deep veins increase the risk of a type of blood clot called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If a DVT travels through the bloodstream and lodges in the lungs, it can cause a life-threatening blood clot known as a pulmonary embolism (PE).

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare vascular anomaly that involves the blood vessels, the lymphatic system and nearby tissues. The congenital (present at birth) condition is typically seen in the arms and adjacent shoulder or legs and adjacent hips or pelvis. […] The symptoms of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome vary from patient to patient, but the following features are characteristic of the disease: A red birthmark: Most children with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome are born with a red birthmark (also known as a port-wine stain) caused by swelling of the small blood vessels near the skin surface. The birthmarks are typically flat, cover part of one limb, and vary in color from pink to dark purple. The lesion may also develop small red blisters that easily break open and bleed. […] Vein malformations (varicosities): Varicose veins (twisted and swollen veins) are not always present at birth and may appear when a child with KTS begins to walk. While mostly superficial, these malformations may be found in muscles and bones or even organs such as the spleen, liver, bladder or colon. Malformations of large veins can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis, a type of blood clot that can lodge in the lungs and cause a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism.

  https://k-t.org/about-kt/what-is-kts

  Klippel-Trenaunay (K-T) Syndrome is characterized by a localized or diffuse capillary malformation that overlies a venous malformation and/or lymphatic malformation with associated soft tissue and bone overgrowth (hypertrophy). The capillary malformation is typically substantial, varicose veins are often quite numerous, and bone and soft tissue hypertrophy are variable. The affected limb is either larger or smaller than the unaffected limb. Hypertrophy occurs most commonly in the lower limbs but may affect the arms, the face, the head, or internal organs. Additionally, a wide range of other skeletal and skin abnormalities sometimes coexists. […] Complications may include bleeding, cellulitis, venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, lymphatic „blebs”, skin breakdown and ulceration, vertebral scoliosis, gait abnormalities, joint damage, and chronic pain. Difficulty finding properly fitted clothing and/or shoes is common. Associated abnormalities such as macrodactyly, lymphedema, or involvement of the abdominal and pelvic organs may also occur.

Typically, capillary malformations involve the enlarged limb, although skin changes may be seen on any part of the body. The lower limb is the affected site in ~95% of patients. […] Present in a majority of patients with Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome, commonly located on the lateral aspect of the affected limb/leg. […] Venous malformations can occur in both the superficial and deep venous systems. […] Rectal and bladder hemorrhage are serious complications of pelvic vascular malformations and have been reported in 1% of cases. […] Treatment in a majority of patients is conservative and includes application of graded compressive stockings or pneumatic compression devices to the enlarged extremity. […] Surgical treatment may include epiphysiodesis to control leg length discrepancy, excision of soft tissue hypertrophy, and stripping of superficial varicose veins. […] If capillary malformations are large enough, they may sequester platelets, possibly leading to the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (consumptive coagulopathy).

  KlippelTrnaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital vascular bone syndrome characterised by a triad of signs; these being: Capillary vascular malformation (port-wine stain), Venous malformation (eg, varicose veins), Limb hypertrophy (usually affecting only one extremity). […] One or more capillary vascular malformations (port-wine stains) are present in the overwhelming majority of patients with Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome and this is usually the first noticeable feature. Commonly, the capillary malformation occurs over the affected hypertrophic limb, but it can also be present at other sites. Rarely, the affected area can blister and bleed. […] Varicose veins are a common feature of KlippelTrnaunay syndrome. They tend to be larger than normal varicose veins and they can be painful. Varicose veins may not be present initially. They usually become noticeable in late infancy, childhood, or adolescence. Deep veins can also be affected, increasing the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is also associated with overgrowth of bones and soft tissues beginning in infancy. Usually this abnormal growth is limited to one limb, most often one leg. However, overgrowth can also affect the arms or, rarely, the torso. The abnormal growth can cause pain, a feeling of heaviness, and reduced movement in the affected area. If the overgrowth causes one leg to be longer than the other, it can also lead to problems with walking. […] Malformations of veins are the third major feature of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. These abnormalities include varicose veins, which are swollen and twisted veins near the surface of the skin that often cause pain. Varicose veins usually occur on the sides of the upper legs and calves. Veins deep in the limbs can also be abnormal in people with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Malformations of deep veins increase the risk of a type of blood clot called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If a DVT travels through the bloodstream and lodges in the lungs, it can cause a life-threatening blood clot known as a pulmonary embolism (PE).

• #56 Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome

  https://dermnetnz.org/topics/klippel-trenaunay-syndrome

  Limb hypertrophy affects the lower limb in most cases (up to 95%), but hypertrophy can also involve the trunk, and head and neck. Limb enlargement is disproportionate, with the girth of the limb enlarging more than length. Increased girth is due to hypertrophy of the skin and muscles whereas increased limb length is due to bone overgrowth. The average difference in limb length is around 2 cm. The length discrepancy can cause uneven walking, unstable gait, or pain. The child might appear to have scoliosis. […] The possible complications of Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome include DVT due to malformations of deep veins, pulmonary embolism, cellulitis, lymphoedema, and internal bleeding. […] The diagnosis of KlippelTrnaunay syndrome is made clinically when two of the three classic signs of port-wine stain, varicose veins, and limb hypertrophy are present. While a diagnosis of Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome can be suspected in a newborn when a port-wine stain is present, the confirmation comes later when other symptoms become more apparent.

[…] Lymphatic malformations are seen in 15 to 50% of cases and consist of lymphedema and cystic lymphatic collections. […] Klippel Trenaunay syndrome has a wide spectrum of clinical findings, and the prognosis is related to the severity of vascular malformations. The malformations progress over time with ongoing overgrowth and worsening venous insufficiency. […] Recurrent deep venous thrombosis leads to the risk of pulmonary embolism, which can be massive and fatal.

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital (present at birth) vascular anomaly that results in your child having a large number of abnormal blood vessels. Doctors can sometimes see evidence of KTS in a prenatal ultrasound, and the capillary malformation (in the form of a „port-wine stain” birthmark) is almost always apparent at the baby’s birth. KTS often has three characteristic signs: Capillary malformation covering one or more limbs (arm or leg), Hypertrophy — or excessive growth — of a limb (usually a leg), Abnormal blood vessels, including veins, capillaries and lymphatic vessels (vessels that drain fluid that leaks from arteries and veins and return that fluid to the bloodstream). KTS affects different kids in different ways. One child may have a mild form of the syndrome with a small capillary malformation and one hand or foot slightly larger than the other. Another child may have a capillary malformation that runs from their chest down their leg, lots of swelling and one limb that is much larger than the other. Symptoms of KTS include: Blood clots, Cellulitis (infections in the skin) — your child may be more prone to infection because they are more likely to bleed easily as a result of the abnormal capillaries near the surface of their skin, Anemia due to blood loss from easy bleeding, Pain and heaviness of the affected limb, often severe, Difference in size between the affected and non-affected limb, Lymphatic abnormalities such as cysts and swelling, Swollen veins. […] KTS is a progressive condition, which means that it will grow as your child grows. That said, many kids — especially those with mild cases of KTS — go on to live normal, healthy lives. Treatment for your child’s symptoms is the most effective way to manage the disease.

  Limb hypertrophy affects the lower limb in most cases (up to 95%), but hypertrophy can also involve the trunk, and head and neck. Limb enlargement is disproportionate, with the girth of the limb enlarging more than length. Increased girth is due to hypertrophy of the skin and muscles whereas increased limb length is due to bone overgrowth. The average difference in limb length is around 2 cm. The length discrepancy can cause uneven walking, unstable gait, or pain. The child might appear to have scoliosis. […] The possible complications of Klippel-Trnaunay syndrome include DVT due to malformations of deep veins, pulmonary embolism, cellulitis, lymphoedema, and internal bleeding.

  People who have KTS may have the following features, which can range from mild to more extensive: […] Port-wine stain. This pink to reddish-purple birthmark is caused by extra tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the top layer of skin. The birthmark often covers part of one leg but can involve any portion of the skin. It may get darker or lighter with age. […] Vein malformations. These include swollen, twisted veins (varicose veins), usually on the surface of the legs. Deeper malformed veins in the arms, legs, abdomen and pelvis also can occur. There may be spongy tissue filled with small veins in or under the skin. Malformed veins may become more prominent with age. […] Overgrowth of bones and soft tissue. This begins in infancy and may be limited to one leg, but it can occur in an arm or, rarely, in the trunk or face. This overgrowth of bone and tissue creates a larger and longer extremity.

  Klippel-Trenaunay (K-T) Syndrome is characterized by a localized or diffuse capillary malformation that overlies a venous malformation and/or lymphatic malformation with associated soft tissue and bone overgrowth (hypertrophy). The capillary malformation is typically substantial, varicose veins are often quite numerous, and bone and soft tissue hypertrophy are variable. The affected limb is either larger or smaller than the unaffected limb. Hypertrophy occurs most commonly in the lower limbs but may affect the arms, the face, the head, or internal organs. Additionally, a wide range of other skeletal and skin abnormalities sometimes coexists. […] Complications may include bleeding, cellulitis, venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, lymphatic „blebs”, skin breakdown and ulceration, vertebral scoliosis, gait abnormalities, joint damage, and chronic pain. Difficulty finding properly fitted clothing and/or shoes is common. Associated abnormalities such as macrodactyly, lymphedema, or involvement of the abdominal and pelvic organs may also occur.

KTS can also include cataracts, glaucoma, hip dislocation at birth, purple-red skin coloring when cold and blood-clotting problems. […] KTS is usually identified at birth. It’s important to get a prompt, accurate diagnosis and appropriate care to treat symptoms and prevent complications. […] Complications of KTS can result from atypical development of blood vessels, soft tissues, bones and the lymphatic system. These can include: […] Overgrowth of bones and soft tissue. Overgrowth of bone and tissue can cause pain, a feeling of heaviness, limb enlargement and problems with movement. Overgrowth that causes one leg to be longer than the other can result in problems with walking and may lead to hip and back problems. […] Chronic pain. Pain can be a common problem that results from complications such as infections, swelling, bone involvement or vein problems.

  Patients with KlippelTrnaunay syndrome tend to do very well. While it is not a life-threatening condition and most patients end up having normal lives, ongoing care is required. This is best provided by a multidisciplinary team of dermatologists, vascular and orthopaedic surgeons, and general surgeons. Some people may require counselling to adjust to the cosmetic aspects of the disease.

  Children often feel dull or achy pain in their affected limb as the day progresses. Pain is most commonly due to varicose veins. […] As the limb is used during the day, blood and excess fluid may pool in these veins causing pain and discomfort for your child. This pain may reduce your childs ability and desire to participate in activities, so be sure to monitor the level of pain to discuss with your OT.

• #94 What is Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome

  https://sturge-weber.org/new-to-swf/understanding-kt.html

  Most patients report pain in the affected limb. Many women report an increase in symptoms during times of hormonal change like PMS, puberty, menopause, perimenopause, and pregnancy. These symptoms may include increased swelling, tingling sensation, change in color and heaviness in the affected limb, fatigue, headache, heart palpitations, exercise intolerance, and an increase in clotting times. […] Pain is a major concern for most patients. Patients with KT may rarely require amputation when the limb is grossly enlarged. Amputation of toes and debulking (making the limb smaller surgically) may be necessary. Internal organ involvement should be ruled out in any patient presenting with KT or Parkes-Weber Syndrome.

  The limb hypertrophy can cause an uneven walking style (gait) but this can be improved. […] Other symptoms have been reported in children with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, affecting the skin, skeleton, blood vessels and lymphatic system, but these are less common. […] Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome may be suspected in children who have a port wine stain covering an arm or leg, but the diagnosis may not be confirmed until the child is walking and the varicose veins and limb hypertrophy are more obvious. […] Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome itself cannot be treated but the symptoms associated with it can be improved to a great extent. […] The varicose veins in the affected leg may become painful, and are often the most troublesome part of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. […] Limb hypertrophy can be treated in various ways, depending on the difference in size between the affected and unaffected leg. […] As the severity of symptoms of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome varies from child to child, a multidisciplinary team often provides the best care. […] Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is not a life-threatening condition and should not interfere with a child’s day-to-day activities to any great degree.

  There is no known cure for K-T Syndrome. […] Conservative treatment of the symptoms at a multidisciplinary clinic is recommended. Compression garments and pumps help manage the effects of lymphedema and can assist in protecting the limb from trauma. […] Both sirolimus and alpelisib can reduce symptoms. […] Laser therapy may reduce or eliminate port-wine stains and help control lymphatic blebs. After trying other management techniques, surgical procedures may be necessary to debulk excessive tissue, to excise ectatic veins. Epiphyseal arrest can help correct uneven growth in limbs. Typically, an orthopedic surgeon will follow your child’s growth and select a time for surgery, usually prior to the end of puberty. […] Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, and color Doppler studies are useful in determining the scope of the syndrome and how best to manage it.

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare condition that is typically present at birth. The syndrome often involves port wine stains, excess growth of bones and soft tissue, and varicose veins. […] Symptoms of KTS include: Many port wine stains or other blood vessel problems, including dark spots on the skin. Varicose veins (may be seen in early infancy, but are more likely to be seen later in childhood or adolescence). Unstable gait due to limb-length difference (involved limb is longer). Bone, vein, or nerve pain. […] Other possible symptoms: Bleeding from the rectum. Blood in the urine. […] Most people with KTS do well, although the condition may affect their appearance.

  Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital (present at birth) vascular anomaly that results in your child having a large number of abnormal blood vessels. Doctors can sometimes see evidence of KTS in a prenatal ultrasound, and the capillary malformation (in the form of a „port-wine stain” birthmark) is almost always apparent at the baby’s birth. KTS often has three characteristic signs: Capillary malformation covering one or more limbs (arm or leg), Hypertrophy — or excessive growth — of a limb (usually a leg), Abnormal blood vessels, including veins, capillaries and lymphatic vessels (vessels that drain fluid that leaks from arteries and veins and return that fluid to the bloodstream). KTS affects different kids in different ways. One child may have a mild form of the syndrome with a small capillary malformation and one hand or foot slightly larger than the other. Another child may have a capillary malformation that runs from their chest down their leg, lots of swelling and one limb that is much larger than the other. Symptoms of KTS include: Blood clots, Cellulitis (infections in the skin) — your child may be more prone to infection because they are more likely to bleed easily as a result of the abnormal capillaries near the surface of their skin, Anemia due to blood loss from easy bleeding, Pain and heaviness of the affected limb, often severe, Difference in size between the affected and non-affected limb, Lymphatic abnormalities such as cysts and swelling, Swollen veins. […] KTS is a progressive condition, which means that it will grow as your child grows. That said, many kids — especially those with mild cases of KTS — go on to live normal, healthy lives. Treatment for your child’s symptoms is the most effective way to manage the disease.

  The condition may affect more than one limb, an internal organ or the head and neck. Visceral involvement is thought to be more common than previously supposed, occurring in perhaps 20% of patients. […] Limb lengthening may present initially as gait disturbance. […] Limb hypertrophy is often greater distally. The digits may be affected, with macrodactyly, syndactyly, polydactyly or oligodactyly. […] An increase in limb girth may be the main feature if soft tissues rather than bones are predominantly affected. […] Rarely, the affected limb may show atrophy rather than hypertrophy. […] Life expectancy is largely normal, depending on the severity of the malformation and thus the likelihood of complications.
