Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare cutaneous vascular disorder characterized by the presence of multiple hemangiomata, arteriovenous fistulas, and limb hypertrophy. We report the prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome including fetal limb hypertrophy and large subcutaneous cystic lesions. Prenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasound examination and recognition important for prevention of complications and future management.

Despite the rapid technological advance, the expansion of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the accumulation of experience by both domestic and foreign experts, prenatal recognition of true knots of the umbilical cord causes significant difficulties. Three cases of successful ultrasound diagnosis of true knots of the umbilical cord and brief review of the literature are presented.

Abstract Background Endometriosis of the uterine body can be manifested as diffuse solid lesions or cystic lesions. The former is common, while the latter is rare, especially for cystic adenomyosis larger than 5 cm. Case presentation A 30-year-old woman was admitted for severe and worsening dysmenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed a rare well-circumscribed cystic lesion about 5.5 × 4 × 5.0 cm. CA-125 level was slightly elevated. She accepted laparoscopic surgery and the adenomyotic tissues were excised. The histopathology of the specimen demonstrated the endometrial glands in the walls of cysts and an area of extensive hemorrhage can be seen in the inner wall of cyst. The patient made a good recovery after surgery and her symptoms complete resoluted. Conclusions This is a rare case of a cystic adenomyotic lesion that was treated by laparoscopic surgery.

Objectives. To describe ultrasound and pathomorphological signs of amyoplasia in the fetus. Materials. Sporadic case of prenatal diagnosis on second trimester ultrasound examination is presented. Prenatal diagnosis is confirmed on pathomorphological and histological examinations. Results. The ultrasound signs were contractures of the upper and lower extremities, bilateral clubfoot, akinesia, extreme cervical spinal hyperextension. The diagnosis was established by pathomorphological and histological expertise. Histological examination of the muscle tissue of the rectus femoris muscle determined the residual muscle tissue infiltrated with fat and connective tissue. Conclusions. Amyoplasia, especially its severe subtypes, can be diagnosed prenatally. The ultrasound signs were contractures of the upper and lower extremities, bilateral clubfoot, akinesia, extreme cervical spinal hyperextension. Histological examination of muscle tissue in fetuses with signs of arthrogryposis will increase the frequency of diagnosis of amioplasia

Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

Abstract Parkes-Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular disease that comprises capillary, venous, lymphatic, and arteriovenous malformations. Although Parkes-Weber syndrome is a clinically distinct entity with serious complications, it is still frequently misdiagnosed as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, which consists of a triad of malformations involving the capillary, venous, and lymphatic vessels, without arteriovenous fistulas. Both syndromes are generally diagnosed with Doppler ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. The aim of this study is to describe one case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, in a 36-year-old patient, and one case of Parkes-Weber syndrome, in a 21-year-old patient. We review the literature in order to discuss the possible causes and consequences of these diseases related to venous hypertension and angiodysplasia, taking a clearer approach to their differences, and discussing their treatment.

Abstract Background  Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is a congenital disease characterized by vascular malformations, such as arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). It frequently presents with overgrowth of a lower limb and high-output heart failure. The main treatment is to close vascular malformations. Surgical excision or endovascular coil insertion was performed in a few patients with AVFs. However, vascular covered stent implantation has not been used for treating PWS. Case summary  A 15-year-old male patient with PWS presented to our hospital because of dyspnoea and massive left upper limb swelling. After initial examination and left upper limb angiography, his symptoms and findings were attributed to the presence of high-flow large AVFs despite the presence of many coils previously inserted. We decided to implant a covered stent along the AVFs between the subclavian and axillary arteries. After stent implantation, the patient’s complaints and findings improved during the early term but they relapsed at the 6th month after percutaneous intervention. Discussion  Here, we report for the first time the use of covered stent implantation and its short and 6 months results in a patient with PWS. Although initial improvements were noted, the clinical outcome at 6 months after stent implantation was poor. This was probably associated with the presence of widespread subtle AVFs or collateral connections among the existing AVFs. Based on our result, we propose that closure of large AVFs is not useful and more definitive interventions, such as limb amputation may be required earlier.
