Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome: clinical features, complications and management in children

The British Journal of Surgery
M Samuel, L Spitz

Abstract

Clinical features and management of 47 children with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome treated since 1970 were reviewed. Haemangiomas and soft tissue and/or skeletal hypertrophy were present in all 47 patients; venous varicosities developed in 37 (79 per cent). There was no clinical evidence of macrofistulous arteriovenous communications in any patient. Thromboembolic episodes occurred in five children (11 per cent) and 25 (53 per cent) experienced thrombophlebitis. The Kasabach-Merritt syndrome was observed in 21 (45 per cent) and six (13 per cent) presented with high-output cardiac failure. Other manifestations included haematuria in five (11 per cent), rectal or colonic haemorrhage in six (13 per cent), and vaginal, vulval or penile bleeding in six (13 per cent) children with visceral and pelvic haemangiomas. In 26 patients (55 per cent) symptomatic treatment only was required. Surgery was undertaken in selected cases for complications of the haemangioma, for cosmetic reasons and for chronic venous insufficiency. Only one of four children who underwent resection of varicose veins improved. There was no death, but significant morbidity was associated with the treatment of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome and high-output cardiac failure.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
