“…Clinical measurement of limb-length discrepancies is generally limited and radiographic evaluation is necessary. A plain radiograph may also be used to search for phleboliths which are pathognomonic for venous malformations and can be a clue to prior hemorrhage or thrombus (Ochoco et al, 2019;Kharat et al, 2016). contrast-enhanced CT imaging with venous-phase protocols may be of particular use in pre interventional planning and cannot be avoided at times despite the best intentions (Wang et al, 2017).…”

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is characterized by the classic triad of capillary malformations manifesting as a "port-wine stain", venous varicosities, and bone and/or soft tissue hypertrophy. Imaging could help to diagnose and evaluation of KTS. Case Presentation: We report a 12-year-old with progressive enlargement of the right lower limb with geographic stain and venous varicosities. The patient also underwent MRI and angiography, which revealed multiple nidus with multiple feeding arteries. Conclusion: Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome is a rare condtion. MRI and Arteriography could help diagnose KTS for confirmation, monitoring progression, or identification of complications.

“…Diffusion MR imaging can differentiate low-flow venolymphatic malformation from simulating lesions. Magnetic resonance venography can be used to delineate the abnormal venous drainage and as well as classification of an associated low-flow vascular formulation (Alwalid et al, 2018;Kharat et al, 2016).…”

“…The patient had clear right lower extremity hemihypertrophy and an overlying vascular anomaly. The port-wine stain solely overlying the hypertrophic limb is reflected in many case studies reviewed,23–26 though port-wine stains can also overly neighbouring and/or remote skin regions 27 28. The patient did not have clear evidence of venous malformations, often presenting as superficial varicosities, which were present in all but one teenage patient case study reviewed 23 29–31.…”

We describe an early adolescent male who was diagnosed with vascular malformation associated with unilateral limb overgrowth based on the clinical findings of a persistent port-wine stain since birth and gradually progressing right lower limb oedema since early childhood. Clinicians should keep in mind to clinically evaluate such malformations in detail, as well as contemplate genetic testing in patients presenting with a large port-wine stain at birth, particularly if well demarcated and lateral in a lower extremity.

“…The initial finding in these cases is painless hematuria [8]. Other imaging findings of KTS include splenic hemangiomas, aneurysms, hemi-megalencephaly, and skeletal manifestations, such as polydactyl/syndactyl, scoliosis, ipsilateral hip dislocations, talipes, meta-tarsus varus [8,9].…”

The Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare form of a birth disorder that includes capillary malformation, hypertrophy of bones and soft tissues, and tortuous varicosities, as well as hypertrophy of the capillaries resulting in hemangiomas and port wine discoloration. KTS is also known as angioosteohypertrophy syndrome and dysplastic angiopathy. In this case report, we describe the case of a 13year-old female with multiple superficial varicosities on the medial aspect of her left leg since birth. Computed tomography angiogram assessed and identified abnormal venous drainage in the lower limb. Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) differs from KTS in that KTWS involves arteriovenous malformations.
