    Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital sporadic condition, which is clinically diagnosed by the presence of two of its classical triad features and is commonly seen at birth or early childhood. The triad is composed of cutaneous hemangiomas (port-wine-stains), varicosities, as well as bone and soft tissue hypertrophy, affecting between 2 to 5 in 100,000. Recently, KTS was found to be related to somatic mutations in the Phosphatidylinositol-4-5-biphosphate 3 Kinase Catalytic subunit (PIK3CA) gene, therefore, classified as a PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum. These mutations affect the embryological angiogenesis development stage. The KTS features are clinically variable, including systemic and ophthalmological signs and symptoms. Although it can affect nearly any part of the eye, the description of ophthalmological involvement is .. View More»
