A neglected case of Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome

Use of Ultrasound and Digital Subtraction Angiography for Arteriovenous Malformations in a Patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome

“…lippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a rare congenital disorder that is characterized by a triad of venous malformations (arteriovenous fistulas), capillary malformations (hemangiomas), and soft tissue or bone hypertrophy of the limb. Although Doppler ultrasound is a valuable method for identifying abnormal vessels and assessing blood flow, few reports have described ultrasound findings for arteriovenous malformations in patients with KTWS [1,2], with most reports focusing on conventional angiography [3][4][5], computed tomography (CT) [2,6], and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [3,[6][7][8][9][10]. Here, we mainly describe the use of ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to assess arteriovenous malformations in a patient with KTWS.…”
