The relationship between lymphatic and venous malformations in Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome is difficult to assess. Herein the authors describe near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging to assess the lymphatics of a subject with a large port-wine stain and right leg edema. Although lymphatic vessels in the medial, affected knee appeared dilated and perhaps tortuous, no definitive abnormal lymphatic pooling or propulsion was observed. The lymphatics in the affected limb were well defined but less numerous than in the contralateral limb, and active, contractile function was observed in all vessels. As demonstrated, near-infrared fluorescence lymphatic imaging enables the clinical assessment of lymphatics in lymphovenous malformations.
Klippel-Trénaunay 综合征中淋巴管和静脉畸形之间的关系难以评估。在此，作者描述了近红外荧光淋巴成像技术，以评估一名患有大面积葡萄酒色斑和右下肢水肿患者的淋巴管。尽管内侧、受累膝关节的淋巴管扩张且可能迂曲，但未观察到明确的异常淋巴积聚或推进。受累肢体的淋巴管定义明确，但数量少于对侧肢体，所有血管均观察到活跃的收缩功能。如所示，近红外荧光淋巴成像技术可用于评估淋巴静脉畸形中的淋巴管。
