Abstract
Ultrasound examination led to prenatal diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay- Weber syndrome complicated by early fetal congestive heart failure. Th e postnatal course was complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome of thrombocytopenia due to platelet consumption within the haemangioma. There was need for neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation and limb amp utation. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
