Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome complicating pregnancy

Abstract: SummaryThe Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that affects one or more limbs. It is characterised by cutaneous vascular nevi, venous malformations and hypertrophy of soft tissues and bone. There are very few cases reported in pregnant women, so the level of uncertainty is high when it appears during gestation. It is a disease that increases obstetric risk and can exacerbate complications, mainly thromboembolic and haemorrhagic. We report below the case of a pregnant woman diagnosed with t… Show more

“…Nur wenige Fallserien und Fallberichte beschreiben das Management bei schwangeren Klippel-Trénaunay-Patientinnen (10,14,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Schwangerschaften mit Klippel-Trénaunay-Syndrom sind als Risikoschwangerschaften einzustufen und bedürfen einer interdisziplinären Betreuung an einem Perinatalzentrum höchsten Levels (Geburtshilfe, Anästhesiologie, Gefäßchirurgie, Angiologie).…”

“…Das Risiko einer Koagulopathie v.a. durch Blutungen aus pelvinen vaskulären Malformationen in Rektum, Vagina oder Vulva oder in innere Organe (20,22,24,25,28,29) ist bei Schwangeren mit Klippel-Trénaunay-Syndrom im Vergleich zur Normalbevölkerung 10-fach erhöht (33). Frauen mit KTS sollten daher schon präkonzeptionell hinsichtlich Koagulaopathien und Thrombophilien untersucht werden (20,22,24,29).…”

“…[1,2] The other factors which exacerbate this risk are oral contraceptives, surgery and pregnancy. [1,2,4,11] So these patients have to be managed with multidisciplinary approach and must be counseled for: a) Use of contraceptive measures other than oral contraceptive pills b) Pregnancy related complications such as deep vein thrombosis, thromboembolism, and coagulopathy c) Surgery for cosmetic appearance of the leg and d) Risk of abnormalities in the fetus. The multidisciplinary management with long term, regular follow up is mandatory in female patients with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.…”

[6,8] KTS has a wide spectrum of presentation, from truncular to extratruncular, from infiltrating to limited forms, containing primarily three anomalous vascular elements: veins, capillaries and lymphatics.…”
