An arch-shaped suprapubic (aberrant) cross-femoral vein with aplasia of left common iliac vein: A very rare presentation of Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome

Abstract

An 8-year-old boy presented with a hugely dilated arch-shaped venous channel over the suprapubic area. Examination revealed that the child had features of Klippel Trenaunay syndrome. USG − colour Doppler study showed absent left external iliac vein in its normal position. Instead the left femoral vein continued over the suprapubic region in the subcutaneous plane to join its counterpart on the opposite side. It carried the venous drainage of the major part of the left lower limb to the inferior vena cava through femoral vein and external iliac vein of opposite side.
