Dermato-Radiological Evaluation of Congenital Limb Overgrowth Vascular Syndromes
Abstract
International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies classification defines Congenital Limb Overgrowth Vascular Syndromes (CLOS) as a subset of vascular syndromes with other abnormalities that present with unilateral limb overgrowth. It includes Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, Parkes-Weber Syndrome, CLOVES (Congenital Lipomatous Overgrowth, Vascular Malformations, Epidermal Nevi, Spinal/Skeletal Anomalies/Scoliosis) Syndrome, Proteus Syndrome, PTEN Hamartomatous Syndrome, and Fibroadipose Vascular Anomaly. Due to their rare and complex nature, a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment is required. A thorough clinical and radiological workup can go miles in reflecting on the patient's outcome. Here we report five cases of CLOS with their detailed dermato-radiological profiles.
Keywords: CLOS (congenital limb overgrowth vascular syndromes); CLOVES syndrome; klippel–trenaunay syndrome; parkes–weber syndrome; proteus syndrome.
