ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare, congenital vascular anomaly, defined as a triad including a port-wine stain, underlying bone and soft tissue hypertrophy and varicose veins and/or venous malformations. AIM: Our aim is to present the case of a 13-year-old girl with a delayed proper diagnosis of incomplete expression of KTS presenting with a port-wine stain of her left lower extremity associated with hypertrophy of the affected limb (upon the moment of diagnosis no varicose veins were observed). The patient did not experience any pain in the affected limb, nor was she diagnosed with neuropathy - both of above mentioned symptoms are often a significant issue. To ensure proper diagnosis, the patient underwent a broad spectrum of diagnostic tests, including physical examination with anthropometric measuring, biochemical tests, as well as radiological examinations including CT scan, Doppler vein ultrasound and bone X-ray. Based on physical examination and test results we were able to establish the diagnosis of incomplete expression of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. SUMMARY: The authors aim to emphasise the very rare incidence of KTS, as well as the low level of awareness of the described disease, which resulted in the significantly delayed final diagnosis in the presented case. Establishing the diagnosis of KTS before the onset of severe vascular complications, regular check-ups in the Outpatient Clinic of Haemangioma Care and compression dressing may help avoid/diminish the severity and significantly delay the development of venous failure of the affected limb.

ABSTRACT

Gangliosidosis GM1 belongs to a group of lysosomal storage diseases and results from the deficiency of acidic beta-galactosidase activity. The enzyme is essential for the degradation of ganglioside GM1 and its derivatives. The disease causes multi-organ injury, however accumulation of ganglioside GM1 mainly in the brain white and gray matter results in predomination of neurological symptoms. Based on the actual knowledge--the condition is untreatable and especially in the very severe infantile form, the duration of the survival is very short. One of the characteristic symptoms of some lysosomal storage diseases, including gangliosidosis GM1, is "cherry-red" spot found in the fundus of the eye. In the publication the clinical course of gangliosidosis GM1 in two infants is presented. The value of an ophthalmological examination in the diagnosis of this rare condition has been emphasized.
