R. De Blasi et al., An unusual association of intracranial aneurysms and oesophageal duplication in a case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, NEURORADIOL, 42(12), 2000, pp. 930-932
The Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital disorder resulting fro
m a mesodermal abnormality, characterised by cutaneous capillary haemangiom
as, hypertrophy of bone and soft tissues and varicose veins. The presence o
f intracranial aneurysms has rarely been described, while oesophageal dupli
cation has not been reported previously. We describe a patient with the KTS
with both there additional abnormalities, which could be explained by a po
stulated mosaic gene abnormality.
