Abstract
Lymphoscintigraphy performed with Tc-99m-labeled antimony sulf ur coll oid is useful in the selection of patients for vascular microsurgery. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is characterized by multiple hemangiomata, limb hypertrophy, and vascular and lymphatic abnormalities. Lymphoscin tigraphic findings in this syndrome are demonstrated.
