| Popis: | Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS) is a rare congenital vascular syndrome consisting of capillary, venous, lymphatic, and arteriovenous malformation. There are many complications of PWS, such as ulceration, bleeding, infection, and cardiac failure. Among them, skin ulceration is one of the thorniest problems in PWS, requiring multidisciplinary approaches for the management. In this article, we presented the case of an elderly patient with refractory ulceration who received numerous treatments with no effect and finally underwent a major amputation to improve the quality of life. Moreover, we reviewed 23 previously reported cases to improve our understanding of the management for PWS patients with ulceration. |
