METHODS: We report a 17-year-old boy with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) who underwent total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy through an extensile direct anterior approach (DAA) in the setting of Crowe IV hip dysplasia. The patient was transitioned from toe-touch weight-bearing to a progressive weight-bearing protocol at 6 weeks postoperatively and was ambulating painlessly at 3 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with KTS undergoing orthopaedic surgical intervention necessitate a multidisciplinary approach to care. This case demonstrates that THA in Crowe IV hip dysplasia with an associated subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy can be safely and successfully performed through an extensile DAA in this population.

METHODS: A 12-year-old boy with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome underwent surgery for unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis who developed pulmonary embolism postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to be vigilant about pulmonary embolism in children because it is rare but potentially fatal, especially in the presence of risk factors. Early diagnosis and treatment of unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis are crucial to minimize immobility. Close monitoring of femoral head osteonecrosis is also necessary.

Parks-Weber syndrome (PWS), also known as Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, is a rare congenital bone vascular syndrome first described in 1900. It is characterized by arteriovenous malformations in a limb, leading to disproportionate limb growth and potential heart failure. Unlike Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, PWS manifests arteriovenous malformations with abnormal connections between the arteries and veins of the affected limb. The management of this syndrome, similar to that of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, relies mainly on symptomatic treatment. We report the first case of angioosteohypertrophic syndrome diagnosed at CHU Med VI Oujda, in a patient aged seven years and eight months. This syndrome manifested primarily in the right upper limb, characterized by asymmetry in both upper limbs, thermal disparity, a cutaneous nevus, and venous ectasia in the right arm. The diagnosis was further substantiated through arteriography, confirming the presence of an arteriovenous fistula.

METHODS: A 24-year-old man with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) presented with severe knee osteoarthritis unresponsive to conservative measures. Owing to end-stage, debilitating arthritic symptoms, surgery was pursued. Careful preoperative, multidisciplinary planning/treatment included magnetic resonance imaging to characterize the venous malformations throughout the right lower extremity, preoperative sclerotherapy, sirolimus, and robotic-assisted cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
CONCLUSIONS: Cementless robotic-assisted TKA with selective patellar resurfacing can be a viable option for young KTS patients with severe osteoarthritis when a meticulous multidisciplinary approach, including sclerotherapy and advanced imaging, is undertaken to analyze vascular abnormalities, minimize surgical risks, preserve bone stock, and optimize outcomes.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare, congenital disorder typically emerging in early infancy or childhood. The classic presentation of KTS is distinguished by a triad of clinical features: a port-wine stain, early-onset varicosities and limb overgrowth. However, a notable variant of KTS has been documented, characterised by limb shortening rather than lengthening, occasionally referred to as \'inverse KTS\'. This report details two cases that display this unusual presentation-both patients had classical features of port-wine stain and varicose veins but both experienced shortening of the affected limb. Whether these cases represent a variant of KTS or a new clinical syndrome altogether is uncertain. They however offer valuable insights into the nuances and breadth of clinical manifestations associated with this syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a rare disease with a wide range of manifestations. KTWS is characterized by a clinical triad of varicosities of the extremities, cutaneous vascular malformations, and hypertrophy of soft tissues and long bones. The diagnosis is made clinically supplemented with magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.
OBJECTIVE: Hereby we aim to highlight the significance of the possible life-threatening first-time presentations associated with the GI system in previously undiagnosed KTWS patients.
METHODS: We report the case of a 47-year-old male with KTWS, who presented with various symptoms such as rectorrhagia since childhood, digestive problems and abnormal lateral vascular malformations of the left buttock which extended all the way to the leg, vascular malformations of the left fourth and fifth toes as well as soft tissue swelling of the left foot. There was no evidence of other clinical presentations. The patient was hospitalized with severe rectorrhagia and a hemoglobin level of 3/9. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure of 85/55 and pulse rate of 115. Ruptured aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery was found on angiography and subsequently treated with embolization. Dermatologic evaluation showed pitting edema of the left leg and foot and multiple vascular lesions. Thus a diagnosis of KTWS was established. Pulsed dye laser therapy and compression bandage was performed for the patient. The patient\'s follow-up was done 3 months after discharge for which the patient was again consulted by a dermatologist and gastroenterologist. Lymphedema of the left leg had improved to a great extend so treatment with compression bandage was continued. Colonoscopy was repeated for the patient to evaluate and control possible active sources of bleeding, due to potential life-threating complications.
RESULTS: According to previous findings, there have been few case reports of KTWS presenting with gastrointestinal manifestations, fewer of which have covered acute life-threatening bleedings associated with this system.

BACKGROUND: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital venous malformation, it had been found to be caused by mutations of the phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-diphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) gene. Currently KTS is defined as a triad of skin wine pigmented spots, varicose veins and malformations of the lower extremities, and hypertrophy of bone and soft tissue, involving urinary system up to 6% to 30%. When the urinary system is involved, KTS is often presented as painless massive gross hematuria.
METHODS: This article describes a woman who was hospitalized with painless massive gross hematuria. Physical examination revealed significant hypertrophy of the right lower limb with varicose veins, port-wine stains in the skin, and right perineal hemangiomatous changes with swelling. The patient was admitted to hospital 4 times for repeated hematuria and infection.
METHODS: By physical examination, CT urography, ureteroscopy and cystoscopy, the patient was diagnosed to have Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, involving the urinary system.
METHODS: The patient hematuria improved after multiple indwelling D-J tubes and anti-inflammatory treatment.
RESULTS: The final symptoms of hematuria improved significantly, follow-up so far has not recurred.
CONCLUSIONS: This case presents the possibility of painless gross hematuria with KTS. Most of patients can be improved by conservative treatment. Cystoscopic laser therapy is the preferred treatment for poor bleeding control. Cystectomy and nephrectomy should be considered when life-threatening.

BACKGROUND: Klippel Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by wine staining, varicose veins, bone hypertrophy, and soft tissue hyperplasia. KTS usually occurs at birth, early infancy or childhood. The rarity of disease makes it difficult to calculate its incidence rate. However, few studies report the incidence rate of 2 to 5 cases per 100 thousand. Furthermore, evidence demonstrates that KTS is more prevalent among males compared to females.
METHODS: An elderly male aged 67, was admitted to the hospital for chronic pain in his left knee. An outpatient physical examination reveals a significantly thicker left lower limb accompanied by multiple varicose veins. The right lower limb was 2 cm short on the opposite side, and the right foot was stunted with high arch deformity. The entire body was covered in a red grape globus, which faded after pressing. He was diagnosed with KTS. We performed TKA for him after blood coagulation examination. The patient recovered well after the operation. He was followed up for 1 year, The patient is in good condition and satisfied with the operation.
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with KTS, total knee arthroplasty is an effective surgical procedure to treat arthritis. However, some risks must be considered, and appropriate surgical preparation must be undertaken.
