Sclerotherapy treatment of a large venous malformation invading the bladder wall related to Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with recurrent macroscopic haematuria and known diagnosis of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Imaging and cystoscopy identified an extensive venous malformation involving a large area of the bladder wall. Holmium laser therapy was ineffective at obtaining symptom control. Following a multidisciplinary team meeting, transvenous sclerotherapy with sodium tetradecyl sulphate was performed under image guidance. A reduction in venous density was observed on cystoscopy and the patient has had complete resolution of symptoms within 6 weeks and continued to be asymptomatic up to 24-month follow-up. We propose that transvenous sclerotherapy is considered first-line treatment in this clinical setting.
