Popis:	In three children, two girls aged 18 months and 15 years and a boy aged 16 years, lymphoedema of the legs was diagnosed. Investigation by dynamic lymphoscintigraphy showed no or diminished activity of lymph vessels in the lower extremities. The patients were treated by manual compression therapy and compression stockings, which controlled the oedema. Early recognition and diagnosis are important, as otherwise irreversible complications and reduced mobility may occur.
