Abstract

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital vascular disease of unknown etiology that affects one or more limbs. It is characterized clinically by three physical findings (the so-called triad): port-wine stain hemangioma, hypertrophy of the bony and/or soft tissue, and varicose veins. A review of the medical literature in 1999 revealed about 1,000 case studies. We present here the case of a patient with clinical diagnosis of KTS studied using peripheral magnetic resonance angiography.
