Sonographic Identification of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome

Sonographic Identification of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare cutaneous vascular disorder characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb hypertrophy. We report the prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome including fetal limb hypert...
