Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome
Background
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of blood vessel abnormalities affecting one or more limbs. It is characterised by superficial capillary (tiny blood vessel) malformations or port wine stains (see entry Vascular Birthmarks), varicose veins (swollen and enlarged veins that are usually blue or dark purple) and hypertrophy (increased growth) of the limb. It is named after the two French doctors who described the condition in 1900.
