title: [Fatal Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome in a child with pulmonary embolism].
abstract: Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is characterized by the venous varicosities, ipsilateral cutaneous capillary malformations, and bony/soft-tissue overgrowth. Potential complications such as hypercoagulability, thrombosis and pulmonary embolism have been casuistically reported. Here, we describe a child with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome complicated by a pulmonary embolism leading to sudden death.
