Abstract
We are describing here a rare case of pregnancy in a patient of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). She was an unbooked case and her pregnancy was uneventful. The patient presented to emergency department in labor and her caesarean section was performed in view of contracted pelvis. Her intraoperative and post-operative period was uneventful. The clinical course and the risks of pregnancy in such a background are discussed. Given the rarity of the disease, there is little information available to counsel these patients regarding obstetric outcome.
Keywords : Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome, Port-Wine stain, Hemangioma, Hyperostosis, Pregnancy, Humans.
