Klippel–Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by venous and lymphatic malformations of the skin, soft tissue, and bone, causing limb hypertrophy. Although, a ruptured hemorrhagic corpus luteum is a rare condition in women of reproductive age, it can result in lethal outcomes. Here, we have described a patient with KTS and hypofibrinogenemia who went through recurrent lethal postoperative bleeding due to a ruptured hemorrhagic corpus luteum. This case suggested that conservative therapy might be the first choice and effective therapy for the patients with KTS, who suffered from bleeding complications of surgical therapy. |
