Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome treatment in Atizapán de Zaragoza

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare disorder present from birth that affects the development of blood vessels, soft tissues, and bones, generally in one limb.

Characteristic features: it usually combines wine-red vascular birthmarks on the skin, varicose veins or abnormal veins, and excessive growth of the affected limb.

When to seek care? When these skin marks are seen from infancy, along with swelling or a size difference between limbs, an evaluation for follow-up is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? Since circulation is involved, the angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the reference for evaluating the affected vessels, while the general practitioner can coordinate the first visit. Because it is a complex condition, the most advisable thing is to see these professionals for personalized follow-up.
