摘　　要：BACKGROUND Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome(KTWS)is a very rare syndrome that involves three conditions:Cutaneous hemangiomas,varicosities,and soft-tissue hypertrophy of the affected limb.There are few cases of ischemic infarction with KTWS.Here,we describe a case of KTWS with ischemic stroke.CASE SUMMARY A 43-year-old man was diagnosed with KTWS with ischemic stroke.His chief complaints were worsening weakness and spasticity in the right leg.These symptoms had been present for 1 year,but the patient did not receive comprehensive rehabilitation until he underwent a 3-week integrated inpatient rehabilitation program at our center.After the program,his muscle strength,walking ability,and exercise endurance improved.Although relatively rare,clinicians should consider the possibility of a thromboembolic event in KTWS patients.Integrated rehabilitation can help such patients to recover function.CONCLUSION In conclusion,although rare,patients with KTWS may experience central nervous system vascular malformations and accompanying stroke.It is necessary to investigate whether such patients have any neurological or comorbid abnormalities.Even in the subacute or chronic period after neurological insult,integrated rehabilitation programs can lead to structural and functional enhancement.
