Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome – An interesting syndrome in a Nigerian child
Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a complex and unusual congenital angio-osteo-hypertrophic disorder where affected individuals have cutaneous hemangioma, venous and lymphatic malformations, and hemihypertrophy of the soft tissue and bones of the limb, causing limb asymmetry. We report a 4-year-old child with ipsilateral hemihypertrophy and cutaneous hemangioma, where KTS diagnosis was made despite being challenging.
