Abstract:
Klippel-Trenaunnay syndrome is characterized by three typical clinical manifestations; 1) Capillary malformations (port-wine stains), 2) bony and soft tissue hypertrophy, 3) varicosities or venous malforamation, but many other clinical manifestations can be presented. Although many associated clinical manifestations were reported in Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, peripheral polyneuropathy or any other results of electrodiagonostic study were not reported previously. We experienced a 22 year old male who was transfered in rehabiliation program after surgical management of intra cerebral hemorrhage. During rehabilitation program we diagnosed him as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome by three typical clinical manifestations associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. He also presented sensory impairment in distal part of all extremites. Electrodiagonostic study revealed peripheral polyneuropathy. We concluded that the possibility of peripheral polyneuropathy should be considered in Klippel-Trenaunnay syndrome.
