What is Inverse Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome?

Inverse Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (IKTS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the presence of large, varicose veins, lymphatic malformations, and overgrowth of soft tissue and bone. It is caused by a mutation in the PIK3CA gene, which is responsible for the regulation of cell growth and development. Symptoms of IKTS can include limb overgrowth, varicose veins, lymphatic malformations, and skin discoloration. Treatment typically involves the use of compression stockings, medications, and surgery.
