Author(s): Allam Fayez Abuhamda

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a rare congenital disorder. The incidence of KTWS is 3-5/100000 live birth. It is characterized by port-wine stain, varicose veins, and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy affecting a limb. Most of the cases were diagnosed after the childhood when the clinical picture became clear and complete. Our baby was diagnosed just after birth; the right lower leg was hypertrophied with port-wine stained. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach will improve the outcome and decrease the morbidity.
