Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is a congenital disorder of the vascular system. It is an extremely rare condition, and its exact prevalence is unknown. [1] [2] [3] It is named after British dermatologist Frederick Parkes Weber, who first described the syndrome in 1907. [4] In the body, the vascular system consists of arteries, veins and capillaries.
Sturge–Weber syndrome: A congenital disorder involving the brain, skin and eyes. [5] In 1922, Weber reported the first radiologic features of brain atrophy in the disease. [6] [7] Named with William Allen Sturge. [8] Weber–Cockayne syndrome: A form of epidermolysis bullosa. Named with Edward Alfred Cockayne.
There is disagreement as to how cases of KTS should be classified if there is an arteriovenous fistula present. Although several authorities have suggested that the term Parkes Weber syndrome is applied in those cases, [4] [12] [13] ICD-10 currently uses the term "Klippel–Trénaunay–Weber syndrome".
Lesions lips, patient with hemorrhagic hereditary telangiectasia. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler–Weber–Rendu disease and Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder that leads to abnormal blood vessel formation in the skin, mucous membranes, and often in organs such as the lungs, liver, and brain.
Infantile hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor. It is a benign tumor, which occurs in 4-5% of Caucasian infants, but rarely in dark skinned infants. [6] It occurs in 20% of low weight premature infants and 2.2 to 4.5 times more frequently in females. [7]
Differences in leg length observed in DCMO can lead to problems with gait, joint pain and scoliosis. An orthopedic consultation should be made for patients with overgrowth involving bone. In Parkes-Weber syndrome, leg discrepancies > 2 cm require orthopedic evaluation. [9] Similar recommendations can be assumed for the limb overgrowth in DCMO.
These malformations are either congenital or acquired. Congenital lymphangiomas are often associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner syndrome, although they can also exist in isolation. Lymphangiomas are commonly diagnosed before birth using fetal ultrasonography. Acquired lymphangiomas may result from trauma, inflammation, or ...
Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia is characterized by multiple chronic asymptomatic superficial blanching telangiectasias along dermatomes or Blaschko's lines, [3] with asymmetric skin involvement, [4] while symmetric instances have been infrequently recorded.
