Core Tip

Core Tip: Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder. The prenatal ultrasound features include hypertrophy of one extremity, a difference between the length of the bones of the extremities, multiple cystic lesions of the extremities or internal organs, increasing blood flow signals and dilated veins or persistence of the embryonic veins. KTS may be diagnosed based on these typical characteristics in utero.
