Exploring Comprehensive Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome Treatment: Managing Complex Vascular Malformations and Overgrowth
Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a triad of clinical features: a port-wine stain (capillary malformation), venous and lymphatic malformations, and hypertrophy (overgrowth) of a soft tissue and bone, typically in a limb. This complex constellation of symptoms results from developmental errors in the vascular system. The presence of abnormal, dilated, or absent deep veins and the resulting venous insufficiency is a major concern, as it can lead to chronic swelling (lymphedema), pain, and an increased risk of blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT) and pulmonary embolism. The treatment approach for KTS is highly individualized and focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications, as there is currently no cure for the underlying condition. Multidisciplinary care involving dermatologists, vascular specialists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists is essential to address all aspects of this syndrome…
