Abstract

The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital pathology that includes hemangioma and varicose vein to involving lower extremity, hypertrophies of soft tissue and bone. When this syndrome has been associated with additional arteriovenous fistula,it has been termed Klippel-Trenaunay-Parkes-Weber syndrome. To avoid errors in managament, it is important to recognize the syndrome. Surgical correction should be performed only to relieve deep venous obstruction(if present) or to correct inequality in the lengths of legs. We report these cases with the review of literatures of Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.
