A rare presentation of Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome with bilateral lower limbs

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a vascular lymphatic malformation underlying with bony and soft tissue hypertrophy. It is a rare condition presenting in 1 out of 10 000 people. The growth disturbance due to KTS is more commonly unilateral (85%) than bilateral (12.5%), and most rarely crossed-bilateral (2.5%). A man in his 40s presented to our hospital with a complaint of lower limb discomfort. Radiograph, ultrasonography, computed tomography venography, magnetic resonance (and venography) showed various radiological findings characteristic for KTS. Because the patient was symptomatic, he underwent stripping of bilateral great saphenous vein and varicectomy of bilateral legs. The surgical procedures were undertaken successfully, and there has been no recurrent symptom for about 2 years and a half. In this study, we report a very rare case of bilateral KTS diagnosed by radiological and clinical manifestations with some literature review.
