✦ Synopsis
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a severe vascular growth disorder associated with generalized kaposiform hemangioendotheliomas, tufted angiomas, consumptive coagulopathy, and thrombocytopenia. [1][2][3] Since the initial report, 1 case series have addressed its complex pathophysiology and treatment. [2][3][4] The limbs and the torso are commonly affected, followed by the retroperitoneum and the mediastinum. Involvement of the head and neck is very unusual. [2][3][4] There have been no reports of KMS patients with movement disorders.
