Recent advancements in endovascular techniques have transformed the management of vascular malformations, shifting away from traditional surgical resections to less invasive methods like embolization and sclerotherapy. Vascular malformations are congenital anomalies resulting from embryonic angiogenesis failures, often misdiagnosed but manageable through a multidisciplinary approach. These malformations range from high-flow arteriovenous connections to low-flow venous, lymphatic, or mixed lesions, each requiring specific diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome (KTW) is a rare congenital disease, representing a challenge in prenatal diagnosis due to overlapping characteristics with other syndromes and no specific genetic markers known to date. We have collected all the cases present in the literature on the prenatal diagnosis of KTW, emphasizing common ultrasound findings that can guide the clinician and genetics to the prenatal counseling. Thus, we collected all the information about the postnatal prognosis and the necessity for treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • A 17-year-old boy with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy using a direct anterior approach (DAA) due to severe Crowe IV hip dysplasia.
  • He began transitioning from limited weight-bearing to a more progressive protocol six weeks after surgery and was able to walk without pain by three months.
  • The case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in caring for patients with KTS undergoing orthopedic procedures, demonstrating that the surgical technique used can be safe and effective for this condition.

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital vascular disorder characterized by extensive capillary and venous malformations that pose unique challenges during pregnancy. This case report discusses the successful management of a 34-year-old pregnant woman with KTS who had two caesarean sections, resulting in the birth of two healthy babies. Despite the lack of evidence-based guidelines for obstetrical management in KTS, a multidisciplinary team collaborated to devise a high-risk thrombosis management plan, involving the use of compression stocking and low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis.
