Klippel Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is characterized by varicose veins, hemangiomas, and bone and/or soft tissue hypertrophy. 6 male and 5 female patients with KTS, aged 2 to 69, were treated in the 2007 academic year. All of the patients had varicose veins, while hemangiomas and skeletal hypertrophy were observed in 10 and 5 patients, respectively. Through surgery of varicose veins in 7 patients and compression therapy in 4 patients, cosmetic and functional improvements were made.
