CASTRO-LOZA, Gabriela Vianney; NERI-ESCAMILLA, Fabiola Lucero y CRUZ-CHAVEZ, Diana Alejandra. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome in pregnancy. Case report and literature review. Rev. sanid. mil. [online]. 2023, vol.77, n.4, e04. Epub 15-Mar-2024. ISSN 0301-696X. https://doi.org/10.56443/rsm.v77i4.271.
Background:
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) Klippel- Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a vascular malformation síndrome that includes variable involvement of skin capillaries, veins and lymphatics with hypertrophy of soft tissues and bones of the affected limb. During pregnancy, these malformations increase, with pelvic and intra-abdominal involvement.
Clinical case:
15-year-old patient, gravida 0, with Klippel- Trenaunay syndrome diagnosed at birth, with full-term pregnancy, referred for initiating labor for resolution of pregnancy in a third level hospital. Without obstetric control, without prenatal studies or obstetric ultrasounds. A pelvic ultrasound was performed, which ruled out the presence of pelvic varices and a Doppler that showed a preserved venous system. The pregnancy was terminated by abdominal route, obtaining a male newborn, weighting 3045 grams, APGAR 9 and 9 after 1 and 5 minutes.
Results:
Pregnancy in patients with Klippel-Trenaunay síndrome has a high risk of thromboembolism and bleeding complications. They should be evaluated by a trained multidisciplinary team to anticipate possible complications.
Study limitations or implications:
The main limitation is the low incidence of this pathology. It can be concluded thatthe diagnosis of SKT is not an indication for termination of pregnancy. Successful management of these patients requires the participation of a multidisciplinary team.
Originality or value:
This clinical case is of primary relevance since fewer than 100 cases of complicated pregnancies with this syndrome are reported in the international literature.
