Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome is a chronic skin disorder. Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome is a common condition which can be characterized by abnormal benign growths of blood vessels on the skin (hemangiomas, port wine stain, or nevus flammeus), excessive growth (hypertrophy) of the soft tissue and bone of a leg or arm, and varicose veins. There is no total cure for Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome. However, a sequential pneumatic tourniquet and compression garments may be used to help with symptomatic control of swelling. MRI and CT scans may outline the extent of involvement, but surgical debulking is beneficial only in rare cases.
