Prenatal diagnosis and hemodynamic evaluation of Klippel‐Trenaunay‐Weber syndrome

Abstract: Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital soft-tissue anomaly which is characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, arteriovenous fistulas and limb hypertrophy. We report the ultrasound findings in two cases of early prenatal diagnosis at 17 and 18 weeks of gestation. The pathogenesis of the syndrome and involvement of the cardiovascular system are discussed.

“…Although the mode of inheritance of KTTS and the risk of transmission from an affected mother to a fetus is unknown, prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound has been reported (42)(43)(44). The earliest known prospective intrauterine diagnosis of KTTS occurred at 17 weeks (43,44).…”

“…They belong to the group of low-flow vascular lesions and have radiologic features of both venous and lymphangial malformations. Although hemangiolymphangiomas occur relatively rarely, some cases have been reported as part of a congenital cavernous syndrome such as Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome [3]. Klippel-Trenaunay Weber syndrome is a rare congenital soft tissue anomaly characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomas, asymmetric limb hypertrophy, and arteriovenous fistulas [3].…”

“…Another differential diagnosis of the hemangiolymphangioma is Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. This is a rare congenital soft-tissue anomaly which is characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, asymmetric limb hypertrophy and arteriovenous fistulas 13 . This syndrome has a similar ultrasonographic appearance to the vascular lesions with hemangiolymphangioma 14,15 , but the latter is not associated with asymmetric limb hypertrophy.…”
