Abstract
Similar descriptions of dual or overlapping syndromes have been published. Many show that there is no clear distinction between Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome and Sturge-Weber syndrome. There is a clinical and biological overlap. The complexity of the disease phenotypes shows that a classification based on an eponymous category does not enable resolution of the nosological problems. Some authors suggest that these vascular malformations are best described in anatomical/histological or functional terms. We report a new observation that illustrates these difficulties.
