Conservative management of knee arthropathy in a patient with Klippel Trenaunay syndrome / Manejo conservador da artropatia do joelho em paciente com síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay

Abstract Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare vascular malformation characterized by capillary malformation, venous malformations, and soft tissue or bone hypertrophy that affect the extremities in most cases. Knee or hip arthropathy are common associated conditions and cause serious disability. We present the case of a patient with a diagnosis of KTS and severe knee arthropathy. A 34-year-old man with KTS was referred to our hospital with severe knee arthropathy, with the joint fixed in a 90° position. CT Angiography and MRI of the left leg showed important varicose development of the superficial venous system with intraarticular vessels. After discussion of the case by a multidisciplinary committee, the patient was enrolled on a physiotherapy program and had achieved significant improvements in movement and quality of life at 12-month follow-up. Treatment of KTS is primarily conservative and a multidisciplinary approach is necessary.

Resumo A síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay (SKT) é uma malformação vascular rara caracterizada por malformação capilar, malformações venosas e hipertrofia de tecidos moles ou ósseos que afetam as extremidades na maioria dos casos. A artropatia do joelho ou do quadril é uma condição comumente associada e causa sérias deficiências. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente com diagnóstico de SKT e artropatia grave do joelho. Um homem de 34 anos com SKT foi encaminhado ao nosso hospital com artropatia grave do joelho com articulação fixa na posição de 90 °. A angiotomografia e a ressonância magnética da perna esquerda mostraram importante desenvolvimento varicoso do sistema venoso superficial com vasos intra-articulares. Após o caso ser discutido em um comitê multidisciplinar, o paciente foi incluído em um programa de fisioterapia, obtendo uma melhora significativa nos movimentos e na qualidade de vida após 12 meses de acompanhamento. O tratamento da SKT é principalmente conservador e exige uma abordagem multidisciplinar.

Manejo anestésico para la cesárea en una paciente con síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay. Reporte de un caso / Anesthetic management for cesarean section in a patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Report of a case

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare disease that includes the triad of malformation of vascular capillaries, varicose veins and/or venous malformation and hypertrophy of soft or bony tissues. Its presence during pregnancy poses an anesthetic challenge due to the high obstetric risk due to thromboembolic and/or hemorrhagic phenomena. We present the case of a pregnant woman with the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome announced for elective cesarean section. Our objective is to expose the anesthetic management carried out and to propose a strategic guide for anesthesiologists.

The universal bibliography on this disease was reviewed, highlighting the potential risk for mother and child. Even when the frequency of this entity is rare, it is important its knowledge for the professionals working in the primary health care as much as in the secondary health care. (AU)

Klippel-Trenaunay and Parkes-Weber syndromes: two case reports / Síndromes de Klippel-Trenaunay e Parkes-Weber: dois relatos de caso

Abstract Parkes-Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular disease that comprises capillary, venous, lymphatic, and arteriovenous malformations. Although Parkes-Weber syndrome is a clinically distinct entity with serious complications, it is still frequently misdiagnosed as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, which consists of a triad of malformations involving the capillary, venous, and lymphatic vessels, without arteriovenous fistulas. Both syndromes are generally diagnosed with Doppler ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. The aim of this study is to describe one case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, in a 36-year-old patient, and one case of Parkes-Weber syndrome, in a 21-year-old patient. We review the literature in order to discuss the possible causes and consequences of these diseases related to venous hypertension and angiodysplasia, taking a clearer approach to their differences, and discussing their treatment.

Resumo A síndrome de Parkes-Weber é uma doença vascular congênita que consiste em malformações capilares, venosas, linfáticas e arteriovenosas. Embora seja uma entidade clinicamente distinta com complicações graves, essa síndrome ainda é frequentemente diagnosticada erroneamente como síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay, que consiste em uma tríade de má formação nos vasos capilares, venosos e linfáticos, sem fístula arteriovenosa. Ambas as síndromes são geralmente diagnosticadas através de ultrassom Doppler e confirmadas pela angiografia por ressonância magnética. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever um caso de síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay em um paciente de 36 anos de idade e um caso de síndrome de Parkes-Weber em uma paciente de 21 anos. A literatura foi revisada com o objetivo de discutir as possíveis causas e consequências dessa doença e sua associação à hipertensão venosa e angiodisplasia. O presente trabalho também levanta discussão a respeito das diferenças sintomatológicas de ambas as síndromes e seus respectivos tratamentos.

Manifestações oftalmológicas de Síndrome de Klippel Trenaunay / Ophthalmological manifestation of the Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

RESUMO A Síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay (SKT) é uma doença congênita rara, com maior prevalência no sexo masculino e incidência de 2-5:100.000. Apresenta-se, na forma clássica, como a tríade de manchas vinho porto, hipertrofia de membros e malformação venosa e/ou linfática. O diagnóstico é essencialmente clínico e devido à complexidade da síndrome, de natureza progressiva e ampla variedade de apresentações clínicas, os pacientes devem ser tratados de forma individualizada por uma equipe multidisciplinar. Alterações oftalmológicas associadas à SKT incluem anormalidades vasculares da órbita, íris, retina, coroide e nervo óptico. Relato de caso: Paciente de 23 anos, sexo feminino, portadora de SKT, em acompanhamento no Centro da Visão - Universidade Federal do Paraná, com queixa de diminuição da acuidade visual em olho direito. A paciente apresentava manchas vinho porto em dimidio direito e hipertrofia de membros ipsilateral. Foi diagnosticado glaucoma e realizados exames complementares oftalmológicos a fim de avaliar o grau de comprometimento dos campos visuais e o fundo de olho. A visão com a melhor correção foi de 20/100 OD e foi de 20/20 OE. À fundoscopia, constatou-se aumento da escavação do nervo óptico à direita - 0,75 x 0,90 mm. Optou-se por tratamento clínico com Cloridrato de Dorzolamida, Latanoprosta, Brimonidina e Timolol, com bons resultados a longo prazo - a tonometria de aplanação mostrou 19 mmHg OD e 15 mmHg OE, apesar da dificuldade na estabilização da doença. Conclusão: Relatos demonstram que os resultados dos tratamentos clínico e cirúrgico do glaucoma em associação à SKT são insatisfatórios quando comparados a outros tipos de glaucoma - o controle clínico não é possível em cerca de 1/3 dos pacientes, e o manejo cirúrgico tem alto índice de complicações. São necessários estudos mais expressivos que estabeleçam a correlação entre glaucoma e SKT e embasem o tratamento de escolha.

ABSTRACT The Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disease, which the prevalence is higher in males, and its incidence of 25:100,000. It is presented in its classic form as the triad of port-wine stains, enlarged limbs and venous and / or lymphatic malformation. The diagnosis is essentially clinical and due to the complexity of the syndrome, the progressive characteristic and the wide variety of clinical presentations, a multidisciplinary team should treat patients individually. The ocular changes associated with KTS include vascular, orbit, iris, retina, choroid and optic nerve abnormalities. Case report: A 23-year-old female patient, carrier KTS, being followed at Vision Center - Federal University of Paraná, complaining of decreased visual acuity in the right eye. The patient had port-wine stains in right hemibody and hypertrophy of ipsilateral members. Glaucoma was diagnosed and eye exams were performed to assess the degree of impairment of visual fields and fundus. The best correction was checked at 20/100 OD and 20/20 OS. At fundoscopy, there was increased excavation of the optic nerve right - 0.75 x 0.90 mm. Clinical treatment was chosen with Dorzolamide Hydrochloride, Latanoprost, Brimonidine and Timolol, presenting good long-term results - the tonometry showed 19 mmHg OD and 15 mmHg OS, despite the difficulty in stabilizing the disease. Conclusion: Reports have shown that the results of clinical and surgical treatments of glaucoma in association with KTS are unsatisfactory compared to other types of glaucoma - clinical control is not possible in about 1/ 3 of patients and the surgical management has a high rate of complications. Significant studies are needed to establish the correlation between glaucoma and KTS, and base the treatment of choice.

Sturge-Weber syndrome in association with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis type IIb.

Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare combination of pigmentary and vascular components with or without systemic involvement. We report here a rare association of Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and PPV type IIb in a 15-year-old boy who had right upper limb monoparesis along with a history of recurrent convulsions.

Involvement of Splenic Hemangioma and Rectal Varices in a Patient with Klippel - Trenaunay Syndrome / 대한소화기학회지

Klippel - Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is characterized by a cutaneous vascular nevus of the involved extremity, bone and soft tissue hypertrophy of the extremity and venous malformations. We present a case of KTS with splenic hemangiomas and rectal varices. A 29-year-old woman was referred for intermittent hematochezia for several years. She had history with a number of operations for cutaneous and soft tissue hamangiomas since the age of one year old and for increased circumference of her left thigh during the last few months. Abdominal CT revealed multiple hemangiomas in the spleen, fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the deep veins and soft tissue hemangiomas. There was no evidence of hepatosplenomegaly or liver cirrhosis. Colonoscopy revealed hemangiomatous involvement in the rectum. There were rectal varices without evidence of active bleeding. Upon venography of the left leg, we also found infiltrative dilated superficial veins in the subcutaneous tissue and aneurysmal dilatation of the deep veins. The patient was finally diagnosed with KTS, and treated with oral iron supplementation only, which has been tolerable to date. Intervention or surgery is not required. When gastrointestinal varices or hemangiomatous mucosal changes are detected in a young patient without definite underlying cause, KTS should be considered.

Overlapping of Sturge Weber syndrome and Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) occurs sporadically with a frequency of approximately 1 in 50,000. SWS is a mesodermal phakomatosis. Klippel-Trenaunay Weber syndrome (KTWS) is another very rare phakomatosis. Overlap between SWS & KTWS is very rarely encountered. We report a 19 months old boy with features of both SWS and KTWS. The reported case had seizures, port wine haemangioma of the right side of the body, glaucoma of both eyes, subcortical calcification which were consistent with the Sturge Weber Syndrome; on the other hand he had also hypertrophy of the right side of the including the face and limbs, angiomatous skin naevus, varicosities consistent with the KTWS.

Urogenital involvement in the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome: treatment options and results

OBJECTIVE: Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a congenital condition characterized by vascular malformations of the capillary, venous and lymphatic systems associated to soft tissue and bone hypertrophy in the affected areas. This syndrome may involve bladder, kidney, urethra, ureter and genitals. We report the treatment of 7 KTWS patients with urogenital involvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1995 to 2005, 7 patients with KTWS were evaluated and the charts of these patients were reviewed. RESULTS: PatientsÆ median age was 19-years (range 4 to 46-years) and only 1 was female. The clinical presentation included genital deformities in 3 cases, hematuria in 2 and urethrorragia in 2, one of which associated with cryptorchidism and phimosis. Three patients had an association of pelvic and genital malformations, including 2 patients with hematuria due to vesical lesions and 1 patient with left ureterohydronephrosis due to a pelvic mass. Two patients had urethral lesions. Treatment included endoscopic laser coagulation for 1 patient with recurrent hematuria and 1 patient with urethrorrhagia, pelvic radiotherapy for 1 patient with hematuria and circumcision in 2 patients with genital deformities. One patient required placement of a double-J catheter to relieve obstruction. Hematuria and urethrorragia were safely and effectively controlled with laser applications. Circumcision was also effective. The patient treated with radiotherapy developed a contracted bladder and required a continent urinary diversion. CONCLUSIONS: Urogenital involvement in patients with KTWS is not rare and must be suspected in the presence of hematuria or significant cutaneous deformity of the external genitalia. Surgical treatment may be warranted in selected cases.

Angioqueratoma circunscripto neviforme asociado a síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay: comunicación de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Circumscribed naeviform angiokeratoma associated to Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome: case report and literature review

El síndrome de Klipper-Trénaunay es una enfermedad congénita vascular poco frecuente de observar, de causa desconocida, que usualmente compromete miembros inferiores. Se caracteriza por una tríada: angioma plano (nevo flammeus), varicosidades e hipertrofia de partes blandas y óseas. Describimos el caso de una niña de 7 años de edad que poco después del nacimiento presenta placas rojo-azuladas, hiperqueratósicas, en miembro superior derecho, asociadas posteriormente a aumento de volumen de ese miembro (angioqueratoma circunscripto)

An Infantile Case of Sturge-Weber Syndrome in Association with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome and Phakomatosis Pigmentovascularis

Sturge-Weber syndrome can be associated with facial port-wine stains and intracranial calcification, and concurrent Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome has been reported. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital mesodermal phakomatosis characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, venous varicosities and soft tissue or bone hypertrophy of the affected extremities. This report is presented a rare case of the Sturge-Weber syndrome in combination with the Klippel-Trennaunay syndrome and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis in a 4-month-old infant. He showed nevus flameus on the right leg and both part of the face and back, leptomeningeal angiomatosis on right hemisphere, hypertrophy of the right leg, hemiconvulsion on the left and also evidences of congenital glaucoma and nevus of Ota. Very rare case combined with these three kinds of phakomatosis has been reported.

A Case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome Presenting with Esophageal and Gastric Varices Bleeding / 대한소화기학회지

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular disorder consisted of a variety of vascular malformations, enlargement of the involved limb, and varicose veins. We report a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome presenting portal hypertension and varices bleeding caused by hypoplasia of the portal vein. Portal hypertension was caused by portal vein hypoplasia associated with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. There were three episodes of variceal bleeding, and hemostasis were achieved by endoscopic band ligation, Sugiura operation, and splenic artery embolization respectively. Although successful hemostasis was achieved, an additional procedures to reduce portal hypertension were needed to prevent repeated episodes of variceal bleeding.

Asociación de síndromes de Sturge-Weber-Dimitri y Klippel-Trénaunay con nevo de Ota bilateral: una variante de la facomatosis pigmentovascular / An association of Stuge-Weber-Dimitri and Klippel-Trenaunay syndromes with bilateral Ota's naevus: a variant of pigmentovascular phakomatosis

Presentamos un caso de asociación de los síndromes de Sturge-Weber-Dimitri y Klippel-Trénaunay con nevo de Ota bilateral. Además de destacar la infrecuencia de dicha asociación y encuadrarla dentro de las facomatosis pigmentovasculares, se pondera la ubicación nosológica de los nevus flammeus como malformación vascular y se hace una revisión de la clasificación de nevo de Ota

Rectorragia como complicación del síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay / Rectal bleeding as a complication of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome

Objetivo: describir la presentación clínica y el tratamiento de dos pacientes con síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay referidos a nuestro hospital por rectorragia y revisar la literatura para establecer las modalidades actuales de diagnóstico y tratamiento que se le pueden ofrecer a estos pacientes. Caso 1: paciente masculino de 15 años de edad con síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay y antecedente de anemia crónica. Internado por cuadro de rectorragia severa. Caso 2: paciente femenino de 19 años de edad con el mismo síndrome y dos años de evolución con rectorragia intermitente, anemia y trombocitopenia. El protocolo diagnóstico de cada paciente mostró várices colónicas como la causa de la rectorragia además de otras alteraciones vasculares propias del síndrome. Tratamiento: el primer caso fue tratado con hemicolectomía izquierda y colorrecto anastomosis. Cuatro años después volvió a presentar rectorragia leve y se realizó esclerosis de várices rectales residuales con formol al 40 por ciento. El segundo caso fue tratado con hemicolectomía izquierda y colostomía. Se le han realizado dos sesiones de esclerosis con alcohol absoluto en las várices del muñón rectal y se encuentra en espera del cierre de la colostomía. Conclusión: el síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay es una enfermedad poco frecuente, con afección vascular en varios niveles. Un porcentaje bajo de pacientes presenta hemorragia a través de las várices colónicas que puede condicionar anemia crónica o hemorragia aguda con compromiso hemodinámico. Esta complicación amerita tratamiento quirúrgico con resección del segmento afectado, complementado con alguna medida local para las várices residuales en el recto

Síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber e gestaçåo: relato de um caso / Klippel-Treunanay-Weber syndrome and pregnancy: a case report

Descrevemos aqui um caso raro de gravidez em uma mulher portadora da síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber que evoluiu satisfatoriamente, com um recém-nascido de 3.500 g sem anomalias aparentes. Acompanha uma revisåo da literatura com destaque para os cuidados na gestaçåo, levando em conta a possibilidade de coagulopatia, insuficiência cardíaca e ruptura uterina naqueles casos onde há alteraçåo vascular do órgåo. Ressaltamos ainda, a possibilidade de ocorrência de parto vaginal desde que monitorado. O puerpério também deve ter cuidados especiais, já que existe o risco de coagulaçào intravascular disseminada. Contra-indicamos o uso de pílulas combinadas, porque estas têm maior relaçåo com fenômenos tromboembólicos

Síndrome de Klippel Trenaunay Servelle en pediatría: clínica quirúrgica y tratamiento / Klippel Trenaunay Servelle syndrome in pediatrics

Es importante definir el concepto de síndrome de Klippel Trenaunay Servelle. Surge de observaciones en neonatología y pediatría durante más de 20 años, quedando claramente establecido sus diferencias anatómicas, su fisiopatología y biocronograma. Se presenta una clasificación de las anomalías venosas intrínsecas o extrínsecas más fercuentes, la asimetría del crecimiento, su evaluación y las posibilidades terapéuticas (el cerclaje venoso, en particular popliteo, el arresto epifisario transitorio, el tratamiento de las deformaciones axiales y la elongación de extremidades). Se hace una mención del tratamiento específico sobre le sistema venolinfático
