Looking at primary lymphedema from a VM point of view, it is natural to have a mixed condition with other CVMs because they are a group of various birth defects after developmental arrest along any of peripheral vascular systems during the vari­ous stages of embryogenesis. It can therefore, affect more than one vascular system: the capillary, arterial, venous, and/or lymphatic systems, producing a mixture of various defects with different characteristics. These defects may occur as either an extratruncular or truncular type of lesion.

The clinical significance of the two different embryological subtypes – extratruncular and truncular – was thoroughly reviewed in Chap. 51. Its critical importance in the clinical management of CVMs cannot be overemphasized.

Whenever lymphedema is caused by a truncular LM, the likelihood that another type of LM (extratruncular LM), as well as a VM and CM, is also present increases, producing the VM component of KTS.
Hence, clinical investigation and management of primary lymphedema as a part of the KTS is required. This unique, complicated condition often involves two dif­ferent embryological subtypes of LM as well as VM, making a total of four different VMs.
There is significant variability in clinical presentation, ranging from a simple condition of one LM and one VM subtypes to a complicated condition with all four lesions: extratruncular LM and truncular LM, and extratruncular VM and truncular VM, in addition to the CM.
Capillary malformation,9 also known as a port wine stain, has a unique distinc­tion that whenever it is present, another CVM is always present. Depending on its location (e.g., the face), it may be present with a serious intracranial lesion (e.g., Sturge–Weber syndrome18). In addition, CMs are well known to be associated with more frequent wound complications after surgical treatment of other coexisting CVMs (e.g., keloid formation).
The CM lesion itself has limited clinical significance in general and often pres­ents as a cosmetic problem alone, where its management is relatively straight

Table 52.1 Hamburg classification of congenital vascular malformation (CVM), modified Main classification based on its predominant vascular component:
•  Predominantly arterial defects
•  Predominantly venous defects
•  Predominantly AV (arteriovenous) shunting defects
•  Predominantly lymphatic defects
•  Predominantly capillary malformation
•  Combined vascular defects
Subclassification based on the embryological stage of the defect:
•  Extratruncular forms – developmental arrest at the earlier stages of embryonal life:
– Diffuse, infiltrating – Limited, localized
• Truncular forms – developmental arrest at the later stages of embryonal life:
– Obstruction ° Hypoplasia; aplasia; hyperplasia ° Stenosis; membrane; congenital spur – Dilatation ° Localized (aneurysm) ° Diffuse (ectasia)
Both extratruncular and truncular forms may exist together in the same vascular malformation, and may be combined with other various malformations (e.g., capillary, arterial, AV shunting, venous, hemolymphatic, and/or lymphatic). Based on the consensus on the CVM classification through the international workshop in Hamburg, Germany, 1988, which was upheld by the subsequently founded ISSVA (International Society for Vascular Anomaly).

forward with the laser-based therapy, and therefore, this chapter will be limited to the combined VM and LM.
The other two vascular components of KTS, VM and LM, typically present as a clinically complicated condition due to the interwinding of the four different com­ponents and subtypes: extratruncular VM, truncular VM, extratruncular LM, and truncular LM, presenting in various combinations and locations with differing severity and extent. Fortunately, the majority of KTS patients do not all have four different subtypes of LM and VM. More frequently encountered is a single type of VM presenting with a single type of LM.
With regard to the VM component of KTS, the extratruncular VM is relatively rare. In contrast, the truncular VM is more common (e.g., marginal or lateral embry­onic vein). The marginal vein has direct and indirect effects on an already dysfunc­tional lymphatic system caused by LM lesion(s). The marginal vein does not have any venous valves resulting in venous reflux and chronic venous insufficiency. Furthermore, these KTS patients often have a poorly developed, uncompensated deep venous system.
19,20
Similar to the VM component of KTS, the LM component is often a truncular LM as a cause of primary lymphedema. The extratruncular LM, better known as a “cavernous or cystic lymphangioma”, is occasionally found in KTS patients, pre­senting either alone or combined with a truncular LM (primary lymphedema), and makes the clinical management more complicated.

Table 52.2 Laboratory diagnosis – primary pathological features of KTS
I. Non- to less-invasive study – basic (standard)
  •  T1- and T2-weighted MR image study
  •  Duplex ultrasound
  •  Whole-body blood pool scintigraphy (WBBPS)
  •  Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy
II. Non- to less-invasive study – optional
  •  Transarterial lung perfusion scintigraphy (TLPS)
  •  MR venography and/or arteriography
  •  Ultrasound and/or MR lymphangiography
  •  CT
III. Selective invasive study
  •  Ascending and/or segmental venography
  •  Standard and/or selective arteriography
  •  Percutaneous direct puncture phlebography
  •  Percutaneous direct puncture lymphangiography
The diagnosis of KTS, therefore, should begin with the clinical evaluation of its primary etiology and determination of the different vascular malformation compo­nents that are present.
21,22
Proper assessment and evaluation of the direct and indirect secondary effects of the primary pathological condition (HLM) on the various organ systems should include:
Gastrointestinal system (e.g., GI bleeding, chylo-ascites, malabsorption syndrome)• 
Cardiopulmonary system (e.g., pleural effusion, chylothorax)• 
Musculoskeletal system (e.g., long bone length discrepancy, scoliosis, pelvic tilt)• 
Genito-urinary system (e.g., lymph leak: chyluria, chylorrhagia).• 
Hence, the diagnostic tests for KTS are aimed at characterizing all four vascular malformation components (Table 52.2). Diagnostic testing of the truncular LM is limited to radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy, which was discussed in Sect. V and Chap. 51.
For management of primary lymphedema in KTS, precise assessment of the extent and severity of each VM and LM lesion should follow proper identification of each CVM component of the KTS. Following identification and assessment of each CVM component of KTS, treatment priority should be determined by the rela­tive clinical significance of the VM and LM lesions.
The VM lesion is usually the more clinically significant lesion in KTS patients, except in cases of lymph leakage and sepsis due to a LM lesion. VM lesions have more serious hemodynamic effects directly on the venous system and indirectly on the lymphatic system.
16,23
Treatment of the VM lesion usually proceeds first, fol-
lowed by treatment of the LM lesion.
An aggressive approach to the marginal vein utilizing a one-stage resection in a KTS patient will lead to an acute increase in deep venous flow following excision of the marginal vein. A KTS patient with a normal deep venous system can easily accommodate the acute increase in deep venous flow. In contrast, a KTS patient
52 Primary Lymphedema and Klippel-Trénaunay Syndrome
435
with hypoplasia of the deep venous system has limited capacity and cannot accommodate the acute increase in deep venous flow. As a consequence, resection of the marginal vein in the presence of a hypoplastic deep venous system often results in acute venous hypertension and secondary lymphatic hypertension.
When an extratruncular VM lesion occurs with a truncular VM lesion, the extratruncular lesion (often an infiltrating lesion) should be treated first in order to reduce its hemodynamic effects on the deep venous system, before treating the trun­cular VM. In addition, follow-up after treatment is required to monitor for lesion
recurrence. Extratruncular VM lesions are derived from embryonic tissue from an 
early stage of embryogenesis, and exhibit mesenchymal cell characteristics, includ­ing the ability to proliferate when stimulated.
24,25
Primary lymphedema due to a truncular LM in KTS is generally resistant to complex decongestive therapy (CDT) alone, compared with primary lymphedema in patients without KTS. Treatment of the VM lesion in KTS patients is especially important and almost always required in addition to CDT for management of lymphedema.
26,27
The extratruncular LM is easily affected by the treatment of VM as mentioned above. Treatment of the extratruncular LM often exacerbates overall lymphatic dys­function with an increased burden to the lymph transport system.
If an extratruncular LM is present with an extratruncular VM, both lesions should be treated together. In the unique situation where all four different subtypes of LM and VM are present in the KTS patient, extreme precaution should be exercised in order to minimize this unwanted imbalance between the venodynamics and lym­phodynamics. Appropriate preparation to prevent or minimize anticipated compli­cations and morbidity should be undertaken prior to initiating therapy.

Special Issues in Pediatric Primary Lymphedema

Definition and Classification
Primary lymphedema in the pediatric group has a special position among the congenital vascular malformation (CVM), because the majority represent a clinical manifestation of the “truncular” type of lymphatic malformation (LM; Figs. 53.1 and 53.2).

Therefore, proper understanding of the mechanism of the formation of the lym­phatic system is essential; the right interpretation of the primary/congenital lym­phedema is warranted, because this condition is one of the results of the cellular work led by the endothel of the initial lymphatics.
The lymph originates in the interstitial space following the intercellular and tran­scellular process; it is characterized by at least +0.9 g% of proteins that can be incorporated into the flow only through the cannalicular system of the lymphatics.
A defect in this system would result in interstitial stagnation of the fluids, and would manifest clinically as an edema, the condition known as lymphedema.2 At the beginning, lymphedema is soft, dry, and without abnormalities in temperature and color.
The increase in the volume along the compromised body segment initially accompanies the increase in density and interstitial pressure, which is usually pain­less, if not inflammatory. However, its worst expression is the consequence of the intracellular accumulation/edema resulting in the condition hydrops.

There is no pathognomic sign for primary lymphedema per se, but there are two findings/signs that are well accepted as clinical signs of the primary lymphedema
4
among the pediatric group. However, the Stemmer sign
is always positive, whereas pitting edema is not always positive in the Fovea or Godet test (Figs. 53.3 and 53.4).
