Summary

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital complex vascular multisystem disorder characterized by bony and soft-tissue hypertrophy. It is famous for its hallmarks like port-wine stains and varicose veins. The syndrome is sporadic, although rare familial cases have been reported [1]. The most common ophthalmological alterations encountered in KTS are conjunctival telangiectasia, anterior chamber malformation, raised episcleral venous pressure with associated glaucoma, and choroidal hemangiomas [2].

The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of KTS and its diverse scale of expressions as well as complications. This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards set by the Declaration of Helsinki. The patient gave signed informed consent.
