What Are The Symptoms Of Kippel Trenaunay Syndrome In Children?
What can you tell me about kippel Trenaunay Syndrome? My granddaughter was born width this. Her left arm is twice its size with pock type markings, as well as a large strawberry type area on the torso front and back. Where would something like this come from, and is there a cure?
