| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Klippel-Tranaunay syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by skin angiomas with arteriovenous malformations and hypertrophy of the soft and bone tissues of one extremity. The clinical case presented herein involved total hip replacement due to arthrosis secondary to avascular necrosis of the femoral head, which resulted in the hypervascularity that occurs with this syndrome. A 37 year-old female was diagnosed with grade IV hip arthrosis and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Laboratory and imaging tests were performed to determine the local conditions for the surgical approach to the hip. The preoperative MR angiography identified the arteriovenous malformation tract to determine the limits of the approach. Discussion: The arteriovenous malformations that occur in this syndrome turn the approach into a challenging one due to the potential bleeding, thus extreme prophylactic and technical measures must be applied. There are very few reports in the literature on this treatment. |
