title: The syndrome of Klippel-Trenaunay, a polyvalent angiodysplasia.
abstract: The syndrome of Klippel and Trenaunay remains basically a venous angiodysplasia. Newer investigative methods have however allowed us to distinguish a polyvalence of the vascular morphology. The basic clinical triad: vascular nevus, varicosities and limb hypertrophy remains the main clinical diagnostic characteristic.
