Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome with atypical presentation of hypersplenism and nephrotic syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare syndrome; unfortunately, very few studies of the connection between hypersplenism, nephrotic syndrome, and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome have been published.We report the case of a 40-year-old white man with a typical clinical presentation of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, including "port-wine stains," varicose veins, hypertrophy of lower extremities, and arteriovenous fistula, as well as an unfortunate development of hypersplenism and nephrotic syndrome.This case report described considerable atypical relevance of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome and hypersplenism together with nephrotic syndrome. A multidisciplinary approach was made. Unfortunately, hypersplenism is characterized by pancytopenia that suggests splenectomy, whereas nephrotic syndrome is an indication for renal biopsy; the splenectomy and renal biopsy were delayed due to our patient's severe condition. Deeper analysis including study of other patients with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome would help us to understand the connection between elevated spleen and liver sizes, nephrotic syndrome, and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.

Klippel-Trenaunay and Sturge-Weber overlapping syndrome in a Saudi boy.

Project description:Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare, sporadic neurocutaneous disorder. It is typically characterized by unilateral, posterior leptomeningeal angiomas that calcify, glaucoma, and facial portwine tains. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by ipsilateral cutaneous capillary malformations, venous varicosities, and bony or soft tissue overgrowth of the affected limbs. The clinical, neuroradiological features as well as the outcome of a Saudi boy who was referred to the Division of Pediatric Neurology, King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with intractable focal seizure and left-sided hemiparesis who was eventually diagnosed with combined SWS and KTS is described here. The rare coexistence of SWS and KTS should be suspected in a child presenting with neurological manifestation such as epilepsy, mental sub normality, or hemiparesis, with port-wine staining or capillary hemangioma and enlarged limbs. Awareness may help in improving the quality of life and survival of these patients.

Klippel-Trenaunay and Sturge-Weber Overlap Syndrome with KRAS and GNAQ mutations.

Project description:Patients with combined phenotypes of Sturge-Weber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome have been reported, though the underlying genetic spectrum in these individuals remains to be elucidated. We reported the patient presenting with Klippel-Trenaunay and Sturge-Weber overlap syndrome in mainland China. Histopathologic study confirmed the hemangioma of vein and capillary. Co-existence of a novel somatic KRAS c.182_183 delins TC mutation and GNAQ c.548G>A mutation was identified in the affected skin tissue rather than paired peripheral blood. The somatic mutations of GNAQ and KRAS may affect MAPK-ERK signaling pathway, resulting in endothelial anomaly and blood vessel malformation.

Kyphoscoliosis with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by the triad of venous varicosities, capillary malformations and limb hypertrophy. However, KTS may rarely occur in combination with kyphoscoliosis. CASE PRESENTATION:We presented an 18-year-old female with KTS and kyphoscoliosis. Hypertrophy of bone and soft tissue affected her left face, trunk and lower limb. Moreover, the patient is associated with subacute thyroiditis, vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, high level of D-dimer, swollen tonsil, kyphoscoliosis and Chiari-I-malformation without syringomyelia. A posterior correction and spinal fusion from T10 to L5 levels were performed for this patient. The lumbar curve was corrected from 105° to 60° and the kyphosis improved from 58° to 26°. The distance of trunk shift decreased from 10?cm to 1.4?cm. There were no thrombotic events occurred. At the 8th month follow-up, there was no significantly change of the curve in the coronal and sagittal radiographs. During the 31-month follow-up, the patient did not experience any discomfort. And her general appearance did not have any change until the last follow-up. However, she refused to take radiograph for worrying about radiation. CONCLUSIONS:KTS is a rare disease with classic clinical triad. However, it can also have other different features, including kyphoscoliosis, elevated D-Dimer, vitamin D deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia. These issues should be taken into consideration when planning treatment for kyphoscoliosis in KTS patients.

A rare case of overlapping Sturge-Weber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome associated with bilateral refractory childhood glaucoma.

Project description:A 6-year-old girl presented with blurred vision and was found to have elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucomatous optic disc damage in both eyes. She also displayed capillary malformations on the face (port-wine stain), upper back and all four limbs, angiomatosis in the brain and had hypertrophy of the left upper and lower limbs typical of overlapping Sturge-Weber syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndromes. She was initially managed with IOP lowering topical medications but required trabeculectomy in the right eye followed by Ahmed valve implantation in both eyes. Despite multiple measures over a 7-year period, her IOP still remained uncontrolled with gradual progression of the glaucomatous damage. This case exhibits a very rare occurrence of overlapping syndromes reported only a handful of times in literature. Most cases with Sturge-Weber syndrome have ipsilateral glaucoma affecting the eye on the same side as the port-wine stain. This case presented with bilateral refractory childhood glaucomas, which is exceedingly rare.

A case report of newborn with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome from mother currently infected by COVID-19.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) novel severe acute respiratory syndrome affected the world population with an infectious condition for which therapeutic forms are limited and vascular sequelae are major challenges. Pregnant women are physiologically immunocompromised and can be more affected by the pandemic than the general population. Extra precaution measures against COVID-19 during and after the outbreak are essential to ensure the safety of the newborn. The aim of the present study was to report the cesarean birth of a female child with Klippel-Trenaunay of a mother currently infected by COVID-19. A newborn of a 21-year-old mother with COVID-19 in the final stage of the disease was born through a cesarean section at full term. The physical examination at birth revealed substantial edema of the left lower limb associated with port-wine stains on the limb and left torso. The ultrasound revealed venous-lymphatic malformation affecting the entire left lower limb, suprapubic region and ipsilateral abdominal region. Two evaluations for COVID-19 were performed and both were negative. Infants of mothers with active COVID-19 infection during the birth period have a low probability of being positive for the disease, but precautions should be taken. The association with malformations, such as the rare Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS), constitutes another challenge regarding the diagnosis and proper conduct to be taken with these children.

Dominant inheritance and intra-familial variations in the association of Sturge-Weber and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndromes.

Project description:This case report shows a genealogical study where a woman has limb hypertrophy and her son has an association of Sturge-Weber syndrome with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. The Sturge-Weber and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndromes appear to be different manifestations of the same affliction. Familial aggregation exists and transmission may be almost imperceptible between generations. Identification of minor manifestations may prove to be a valuable contribution to genetic counseling of families and the prevention of new cases.

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome: Case series from a university hospital of Nepal.

Project description:IntroductionKlippel Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital malformation with capillary and venous malformations and soft tissue/bony overgrowth with or without lymphatic malformation. Cutaneous vascular stain, varicosities and tissue hypertrophy represent its main clinical features. Besides, the patient can develop thromboembolic pathologies, recurrent bouts of infection, stasis eczema, limb length discrepancy and intolerable pain typical of intraosseous involvement.MethodsHere, we report a case series of seven patients aged 10-45 who presented to our centre with clinical features suggestive of KTS. Out of them, six patients had involvement of unilateral lower limb, while only one had involvement of bilateral lower limb. They all had typical cutaneous vascular stains and underlying venous malformation, while one patient had developed complications with multiple ulcer formation.OutcomesAn interdisciplinary team of vascular surgeons, dermatologists, interventional radiologists, orthopaedics, and physiotherapists managed the cases. We performed an individualized treatment as per the patient's presentation, which included a combination of supportive, medical, interventional radiologic, and surgical interventions. The follow-up outcomes of all the patients revealed significant resolution of symptoms.ConclusionPatients with KTS can have diverse presentations. Therefore, clinicians should ensure an individualized treatment with the involvement of a multidisciplinary team for proper management and prevention of complications.

Cerebral Cavernous Angioma Associated with Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome Treated with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Klippel Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare, sporadic congenital syndrome characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, venous varicosities, and osseous-soft tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb. It is genetically heterogeneous, and its clinical presentation is variable. We report the case of a 13-year-old male with KTS, who presented with a cerebral cavernous angioma in the corpus callosum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind from Pakistan and the only known case in the literature of KTS to be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. The possibilities of shared genetic pathways between KTS and cavernous angiomas and the need for neurovascular scrutiny in patients with this syndrome are discussed.

Near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

Project description:The relationship between lymphatic and venous malformations in Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is difficult to assess. Herein the authors describe near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging to assess the lymphatics of a subject with a large port-wine stain and right leg edema. Although lymphatic vessels in the medial, affected knee appeared dilated and perhaps tortuous, no definitive abnormal lymphatic pooling or propulsion was observed. The lymphatics in the affected limb were well defined but less numerous than in the contralateral limb, and active, contractile function was observed in all vessels. As demonstrated, near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging enables the clinical assessment of lymphatics in lymphovenous malformations.

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, Segmental/Focal Overgrowth Malformations: A Review.

Project description:Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is an uncommon, infrequent, congenital disorder characterized by a triad of capillary malformation, varicosities, and tissue and bone hypertrophy. The presence of two of these three signs is enough to obtain the diagnosis. Capillary malformations are usually present at birth, whereas venous varicosities and limb hypertrophy become more evident later. The syndrome has usually a benign course, but serious complications involving various organs, such as gastrointestinal and genitourinary organs, as well as the central nervous system, may be observed. Recently, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome has been included in the group of PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) disorders. In terms of this disorder, new results in etiopathogenesis and in modalities of treatment have been advanced. We report here a review of the recent genetic findings, the main clinical characteristics and related severe complications, differential diagnoses with a similar disorder, and the management of patients with this complex and uncommon syndrome.
