The Lymphoscintigraphic Evaluation of Patients with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome

Lymphoscintigraphy performed with Tc-99m-labeled antimony sulfur colloid is useful in the selection of patients for vascular microsurgery. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is characterized by multiple hemangiomata, limb hypertrophy, and vascular and lymphatic abnormalities. Lymphoscintigraphic findings in...

Description
Summary:Lymphoscintigraphy performed with Tc-99m-labeled antimony sulfur colloid is useful in the selection of patients for vascular microsurgery. Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is characterized by multiple hemangiomata, limb hypertrophy, and vascular and lymphatic abnormalities. Lymphoscintigraphic findings in this syndrome are demonstrated.
