Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare disease that includes the triad of malformation of vascular capillaries, varicose veins and/or venous malformation and hypertrophy of soft or bony tissues. Its presence during pregnancy poses an anesthetic challenge due to the high obstetric risk due to thromboembolic and/or hemorrhagic phenomena. We present the case of a pregnant woman with the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome announced for elective cesarean section. Our objective is to expose the anesthetic management carried out and to propose a strategic guide for anesthesiologists. rESUMEnEl síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay es una rara enfermedad que comprende la tríada de malformación de capilares vasculares, venas varicosas y/o malformación venosa e hipertrofia de tejidos blandos u óseos.
