TLDR The newborn with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome was healthy but needed regular check-ups for possible complications.
The document details a case of a newborn male with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS), marked by limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, angiokeratoma, and venous varicosities. The baby, who was full-term with a birth weight of 2.8 kg, length of 52 cm, and head circumference of 34.5 cm, had no significant family history of KTS. Despite the presence of vascular malformations and limb discrepancies, the child's cardiac function was normal, and imaging tests revealed no abnormalities in the brain or abdomen, although Doppler imaging indicated reduced blood flow in the affected areas. The baby did not require any immediate medical intervention and was discharged with instructions for ongoing monitoring to manage potential KTS complications. The case was reported to highlight the rarity of KTS and the need for vigilant follow-up.
