A 10-year-old girl with features of Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome developed a large left frontoparietal subdural hemorrhage. CT angiography and cerebral angiography identified prominent subependymal veins and deep venous system predominantly in the left cerebral hemisphere in association with a dilated left vein of Labbe and hypoplastic superior sagittal sinus. No arteriovenous malformation or fis...

BACKGROUND Klippel-Feil syndrome is defined as congenital fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae and is believed to result from faulty segmentation along the embryo's developing axis during weeks 3-8 of gestation. Persons with Klippel-Feil syndrome and cervical stenosis may be at increased risk for spinal cord injury after minor trauma as a result of hypermobility of the various cervical segm...

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare disorder characterized by the triad of vascular malformations, venous varicosities, and bone and soft-tissue hypertrophy. We present a case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome with limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, lymphangiomas, and venous varicosities in the limbs.

A patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension not associated with chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension is described. It is hypothesised that pulmonary arterial hypertension is another complication associated with the Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, possibly due to haemodynamic changes of small vessel abnormalities.

A 20 year old female with Klippel Feil Syndrome was scheduled for emergency caesarian section during her 1st pregnancy. We present the successful anaesthetic management of this patient highlighting the various anomalies associated with Klippel Feil Syndrome and the presence of a difficult airway.

Aortic coarctation was diagnosed in a 27-year-old man with Klippel-Feil syndrome, an inborn skeletal defect of the vertebral column associated with anomalies of various organs. The presented findings are discussed in the context to the theory of vascular artery supply disruption sequence during embryogenisis as a potential explanation for the pathogenesis of morphological defects of Klippel-Fei...

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare cutaneous vascular disorder characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb hypertrophy. We report the prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome including fetal limb hypertrophy and large subcutaneous cystic lesions. Prenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasound examination...

In a pair of Japanese monozygotic twins, one manifested Klippel-Feil syndrome, a short neck with C(1-4) vertebra fusion, whereas the other was normal. The discordance between the twins suggests that Klippel-Feil syndrome results in part from a postzygotic somatic mutation or intrauterine environmental factors.

This paper addresses the specification of a data structure for route directions that incorporates essential aspects of cognitive information processing. Specifically, we characterize levels of urban granularity and the hierarchical organization of spatial knowledge. We discuss changes of granularity in route directions that result from combining elementary route information to higher-order elem...
