Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber Syndrome or KTS is a rare congenital medical condition in which blood vessels and/or lymph vessels fail to form properly.
Diagnosis
- One or more distinctive port-wine stains with sharp borders[citation needed]
- Varicose veins
- Hypertrophy of bony and soft tissues, that may lead to local gigantism or shrinking.
- An improperly developed lymph system
KTS is a complex syndrome, and no single treatment is applicable for everyone. Treatment is decided on a case-by-case basis with the individual's doctors.
At present, many of the symptoms may be treated, but there is no cure for Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.
