Prenatal diagnosis of the Klippel‐Trenaunay‐Weber syndrome

Abstract: The Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a complex developmental disorder of the vascular and skeletal systems. While many features of the syndrome are congenital, it has not been diagnosed often before birth. This paper describes a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome diagnosed at 19 weeks' gestation on the basis of sonographic findings and family history. The clinical variability of the syndrome is emphasized and the importance of family history in differential diagnosis is stressed.

“…In 1983, a second prenatal case was described reporting hemihypertrophy of a lower extremity (Warhit et al, 1983). There have been scattered case reports of the prenatal sonographic appearances of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome subsequently (Shalev et al, 1988;Seoud et al, 1984;Lewis et al, 1986;Meholic et al, 1991;Yankowitz et al, 1994;Jorgenson et al, 1994), with variable fetal and neonatal outcomes. In this present case, serial sonography enabled the in utero progression of this disorder in the fetus to be displayed.…”

“…Alguns autores 16,17 verificaram a ocorrência de associação familiar do aparecimento da SKTW. Neste caso, como na maioria da literatura, não há relato de ocorrência desta síndrome na família, talvez por estar relacionada à mutação autossômica dominante de penetrância incompleta 8 .…”

“…Foi mantido com tratamento clínico e, em 2006, houve aparecimento de grande ectasia venosa (5 cm) na região anterior do joelho esquerdo (Figura 1). Outros membros da família do paciente foram investigados e não foi encontrado um sinal ou sintoma clínico de síndrome semelhante em nenhum deles 16,17 . Com a evolução da doença, surgiram novas ectasias venosas (Figura 2), de aproximadamente 5 cm, na região da coxa, joelho e perna esquerda.…”
