Massive intracerebral hematoma in a child with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome

Surg Neurol. 1994 Nov;42(5):392-5; discussion 395-6. doi: 10.1016/0090-3019(94)90343-3.

Abstract

The authors describe a child who suffered from massive intracerebral bleeding due to rupture of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation associated with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). Neurovascular lesions have been regarded as uncommon in KTS; however, our case may indicate the need for neurovascular scrutiny in patients with this syndrome.
