Abstract
We report herein the case of a 14-year-old girl with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome who developed an aneurysm of the transverse cervical artery. Because it was continuing to increase in size, with an associated ris k of rupture, an aneurysmectomy was performed. Pathological examinatio n of the resected specimen revealed a cavernous hemangioma located nea r the aneurysm. To our knowledge no other case of an aneurysm occurrin g in association with a cavernous hemangioma as a complication of Klip pel-Trenaunay syndrome has ever been reported.
