A review of Klippel-Trenaunay Weber Syndrome (KTWS) precedes a case of a patient with Non-Healing Wounds secondary to the aforementioned rare congenital syndrome. Successful treatment for these ulcerations is then outlined. A discussion follows tying KTWS to modem venous hypertensive wound care techniques. We believe this is the only report of its type targeting lower extremity practitioners involved with wound care.
