          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de Klippel Trenaunay Weber es una enfermedad vascular congénita, de causas desconocidas, caracterizada por hemangiomas planos, crecimiento excesivo de huesos y tejido blando, y venas varicosas. Cuando se asocia al embarazo incrementa la morbilidad y mortalidad materna y fetal. Objetivo: Describir dos casos clínicos de gestantes con este síndrome las cuales fueron atendidas en el Hospital Ginecobstétrico Docente “Ramón González Coro” en La Habana, Cuba. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, de dos casos mediante técnica de recolección de información, análisis de la historia clínica y búsqueda de literatura actualizada. El mismo se efectuó conforme a las reglamentaciones y principios éticos existentes para la investigación en humanos. No fue necesario que las pacientes ofrecieran su consentimiento informado. Presentación de casos: Los dos casos presentados fueron gestantes adolescentes a las cuales se les dio seguimiento en consulta multidisciplinaria y se les realizó cesárea a las 38 semanas, la primera por riesgo de sangrado por las varicosidades pelvianas y la segunda por indicación neurológica. Se obtuvieron en ambos casos recién nacidos femeninos, de 2620 y 3200 gramos respectivamente y en buenas condiciones. Conclusiones: Debe realizarse una correcta anamnesis durante los controles prenatales para identificar los factores de riesgo que se relacionan con esta entidad que es poco frecuente, pero está relacionada con una gran morbilidad. Es indispensable la actuación en equipo y la evaluación integral de estos casos por un grupo especializado de angiólogos, ginecobstetras, anestesistas, cirujanos, clínicos, y de otras especialidades, para lograr un resultado óptimo.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome is a congenital vascular disease, of unknown causes, characterized by flat hemangiomas, overgrowth of bones and soft tissue, and varicose veins. When associated with pregnancy, it increases maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe two clinical cases of pregnant women with this syndrome, which were treated at the Ramón González Coro Gynecobstetric Teaching Hospital in Havana, Cuba. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study of two cases using the information collection technique, analysis of the medical history, and search for updated literature. It was carried out in accordance with existing regulations and ethical principles for human research. Patients were not required to offer their informed consent. Case reports: The two cases presented were pregnant adolescents who were followed up in a multidisciplinary consultation and underwent caesarean section at 38 weeks, the first due to risk of bleeding as result of pelvic varicosities and the second due to neurological indication. In both cases, female newborns, 2620 and 3200 grams respectively, were obtained in good conditions. Conclusions: Correct anamnesis must be carried out during prenatal controls to identify the risk factors that are related to this entity, which is rare, but is related to high morbidity. Team action and comprehensive evaluation of these cases, by a specialized group of angiologists, gynecologists, anesthetists, surgeons, clinicians, and other specialties, are essential to achieve an optimal result.

          Somatic activating mutations in Pik3ca cause sporadic venous malformations in mice and humans

          Venous malformations (VMs) are painful and deforming vascular lesions composed of dilated vascular channels, present from birth. Mutations in the TEK gene, encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor TIE2, are found in approximately half of sporadic (non-familial) VMs, and the causes of the remaining cases are unknown. Sclerotherapy, widely accepted as first-line treatment, is not fully efficient, and targeted therapy for this disease remains underexplored. In this study, we have generated a mouse model that faithfully mirrors human VM through mosaic expression of Pik3ca H1047R , a constitutively active mutant of the p110α isoform of PI 3-kinase (PI3K), in the embryonic mesoderm. Endothelial expression of Pik3ca H1047R resulted in endothelial cell (EC) hyperproliferation, reduction in pericyte coverage of blood vessels, and decreased expression of arteriovenous specification markers. PI3K pathway inhibition with rapamycin normalized endothelial cell hyperproliferation and pericyte coverage in postnatal retinas and stimulated VM regression in vivo . In line with the mouse data, we also report the presence of activating PIK3CA mutations in human VMs, mutually exclusive with TEK mutations. Our data demonstrate a causal relationship between activating Pik3ca mutations and the genesis of VMs, provide a genetic model that faithfully mirrors the normal etiology and development of this human disease, and establish the basis for the use of PI3K-targeted therapies in VMs.

            Management of Pregnancy with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report and Review

            Background Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome with vascular involvement. Given the rarity of the syndrome, its management in pregnancy is based on the outcome of a few case reports and expert opinion. Case Summary The management of a complicated case with its antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum concerns has been addressed in this review. Conclusions Prenatal consults with anesthesia, general surgery, intervention radiology, and internal medicine should be arranged, prior to delivery in anticipation of all the possible complications. Apart from the pregnancy management, preconceptional counselling including the genetics, prognosis, and contraception has an important role in patient management.
