Abstract

Klippel Treunanay Syndrome is a rare disorder characterised by congenital vascular malformations and hypertrophy of soft tissues and bones. Here we report a 5 year old child who was referred to our department of child neurology with an initial diagnosis of cerebral palsy since he had difficulty in walking and unilateral atrophy of extremities. Detailed physical examination revealed left hemihypertrophy and port wine stain. With these findings and venous malformations of the brain he had a final diagnosis of Klippel Treunanay Syndrome. While investigating cerebral palsy in children with difficulty in walking, a detailed physical examination should be performed and accompanying unilateral hypertrophy and skin findings should suggest Klippel Treunanay Syndrome.
