Abstract
Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the classical triad of port-wine stains, varicosities, and hypertrophy of bone and soft tissue.
Case report: A 5-year-old boy presented with swelling and varicose plaques on his right ankle with normal spine findings. He was diagnosed with KTS after relevant radiological investigations. Typically, management involves conservative measures such as compression stockings to alleviate edema due to chronic venous insufficiency, modern pneumatic compression devices, and occasionally surgical correction of varicose veins with lifelong monitoring.
Conclusion: This case report offers a concise overview of the clinical and pathological features of KTS, as well as its management strategies.
