Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, varicosity and bony hypertrophy of extremities. Urinary tract hemangiomas may occur in 3 to 6% of these patients. This work intends to report a case of a patient with a huge vesical hemangioma, who presented this syndrome. A 5 year-old boy with Klippel syndrome sought our services due to 3 episodes of gross hematuria in...

A 37-year-old woman with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome who developed malignant melanoma on the limb affected the vascular malformation, is reported. The observation and nature of this association or coincidence is discussed.

We report the case of a 65-year-old man who we thought was an atypical presentation or a variant of the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. Although it is primarily a disorder of infancy and childhood, it has been reported to present in adulthood also. Our case report highlights the need to consider the differential diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome in patients presenting with suggest...

The case of a 33-year-old woman suffering from the Klippel-Trenaunay-syndrome which belongs to the syndromes of dysplasia is discussed. The cases in question is an anaeviformous variant. Apart from this there exists a renal hypoplasia which is to be seen within the Klippel-Trenaunay-syndrome. This renal hypoplasia has led to a terminal renal insufficiency and has made necessary a chronic haemod...

Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Define the triad of signs and symptoms that describe Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. 2. Speculate on the various theories regarding its pathogenesis. 3. Discuss the necessary radiologic workup required to pursue appropriate management. 4.

This paper describes the curious case history of famous and rare Klippel Feil syndrome type II, identified in skeleton a young Slavic soldier who died 1946. It is very interesting given fusion C1 C2 cervical vertebrae, which prevented from rotating his skull while alive.

Background: The authors present a case of cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy in the setting of multiple Klippel-Feil syndrome abnormalities treated surgically with a single-level C3–C4 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. We discuss the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and various treatment options for cervical spine abnormalities in Klippel-Feil syndrome. Case Presentation:...

BACKGROUND Neurologic deficits in patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome usually are attributed to direct compression of neuronal structures or hypoperfusion secondary to compression of the vertebral arteries by bony abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To describe a 38-year-old woman with known Klippel-Feil syndrome who developed lateropulsion. RESULTS The results of magnetic resonance imaging were consi...
