## Abstract We describe the prenatal sonographic findings in a case of Klippel‐Trénaunay‐Weber syndrome including fetal ascites and subcutaneous cystic lesions associated with a relatively low level of maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein and a relatively high level of maternal serum β‐human chorionic

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
This report describes the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of a case of Klippel‐Trénaunay‐Weber syndrome. The sonographic appearance of this disorder was characterized by the presence of multiple distorted cystic areas involving the right leg and abdomen and cardiomegaly with early fetal heart failure. Despite the prenatal detection of the extensive cutaneous and visceral involvement, the infant died soon after birth of high‐output cardiac failure and Kasabach‐Merritt syndrome. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Ultrasound examination led to prenatal diagnosis of Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber syndrome complicated by early fetal congestive heart failure. The postnatal course was complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome of thrombocytopenia due to platelet consumption within the haemangioma. There was need for n
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a complex developmental disorder characterized by a triad of cutaneous haemangioma, varicosities of the body, and unilateral limb hypertrophy. We describe the prenatal diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome at 15 weeks' gestation using the surface rendering
