REYES PUENTES, Lourdes Milagros; FUENTES CAMARGO, Maria Julia; PEREZ MARTINEZ, Caridad e MARTINEZ GONZALEZ, Luis Raúl. Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome: a case report. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp. 256-261. ISSN 1561-3194.
The study of the fetus using the ultrasound in real time is one of the most important technological advances of recent days; which allow collecting information about anatomic and functional integrity as well as establishing the diagnosis of congenital malformations in early stages of pregnancy. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome was first reported by Maurice Klippel and P. Trenaunay in 1900, the most frequent clinical finding is the flat angioma or flammeus nevus. An 18 years old primigravida having health records attended to the office presenting HbAS. The sonographic study carried out at 22 weeks of pregnancy revealed a marked hypertrophy of the lower fetal limb associated with giant cavernous angioma affecting the pelvis, buttocks and genitals. Such findings guided to the diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. This is a rare clinical entity and its antenatal diagnosis is little- known, thus the case is presented.
