ABSTRACT

Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is the result of an embryonic developmental disorder of mesodermal tissues affecting angiogenesis at different stages, possibly after intrauterine injury, so it occurs very rarely in adulthood.
Case report: a 31-year-old woman who comes to the on-call body for rectal bleeding and edema in the left lower limb encompasses the thigh. Physical examination shows vascular nevus located in the lower left extremity and varicose veins that the patient refers to have from very early ages of life. Imaging confirmed the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). The patient underwent treatment according to the protocols established, achieving evident clinical improvement.
Conclusions: a proper diagnosis of this syndrome will allow adequate follow-up and medical treatment by the multidisciplinary team in charge; as a result a better quality of life for the patient was achieved.
