Cerebral Cavernous Angioma Associated with Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome Treated with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Case Report and Literature Review
Klippel Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare, sporadic congenital syndrome characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, venous varicosities, and osseous-soft tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb. It is genetically heterogeneous, and its clinical presentation is variable. We report the case of a 13-year-...

description | Klippel Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare, sporadic congenital syndrome characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, venous varicosities, and osseous-soft tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb. It is genetically heterogeneous, and its clinical presentation is variable. We report the case of a 13-year-old male with KTS, who presented with a cerebral cavernous angioma in the corpus callosum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind from Pakistan and the only known case in the literature of KTS to be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. The possibilities of shared genetic pathways between KTS and cavernous angiomas and the need for neurovascular scrutiny in patients with this syndrome are discussed. |
