Abstract

Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare vascular disorder characterized by a triad of symptoms including capillary malformations known as port-wine stains, venous varicosities, and osseous- or soft-tissue hypertrophy of the affected extremity. The etiology remains ambiguous, although genetic factors have been implicated. We present a case of a 27-year-old female with KTS who presented with progressive right sided paresis. An intramedullary hemorrhage and syringomyelia of the cervical spine, along with a Chiari I malformation were identified in brain and cervical spine MRI. Her laboratory tests revealed significant coagulopathy. Our patient was initially treated conservatively before she discharged for both a scheduled neurosurgical procedure and splenectomy.
