Seeing the diversity of the clinical look and of the subjacent malformations of the Klippel and Trenaunay Syndrome the following questions can be put forward: must the term KT be kept up? If not how to replace it? The mesoblastic sheet includes angioblastic, lymphoblastic and osteoblastic lineages. Each of them gives rise to malformations. All the malformations and all the signs and symptoms they generate may exist alone or mixed, the diversity of association is unlimited. Hence the syndromes too. They cannot be gathered under the sole term of KT. On the other hand to give each of them an eponym would lead to confusion. Therefore the author proposes to limit himself to the use of the term "type KT" when getting in touch with. Once the syndrome is investigated accurately it must be specified by the causal malformations, the associated malformations and the secondary troubles. It is the only way to be understandable and to allow statistical research.

[The role of phlebography in pre and peri-surgical varicose veins].

The author has given up per-operative phlebography of varicose veins, since many years. It causes complications and is subject to errors of interpretation. Pre-operatively, the conventional ascending phlebography is not justified. On the contrary, a selective dynamic phlebography is indicated before any procedure for venous insufficiency of the calf in order to specify the morphology and function and the external saphenous veins and veins to the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Selective phlebography is sometimes useful in case of recurrence of the varices.

[Venous stasis caused by extrinsic compression of the popliteal area].

The authors present three clinical cases of venous compression of the popliteal area. They are two popliteal cysts and one tibial exostosis. A relatively frequent popliteal artery aneurysm and a few iatrogenic cases, complete the list of possible differential diagnoses. Ultrasonography seems to present definite advantages concerning its use and aiding phlebography, arteriography and arthrography in detecting a popliteal "mass" causing a proximal venous stasis.

[Treatment of acute ischemia of the hand].

Among numerous non-traumatic vascular disorders of the hand, only embolism and arterial thrombosis present acute characteristics, exceptional cases of extensive and sudden venous thrombosis apart. These signs are neurological and indicate extreme clinical urgency. Paresis and anesthesia indicate direct arterial surgery, embolectomy, thrombectomy, reconstruction by grafting or prosthesis. When ischemia affects only part of the hand, anticoagulant and vasodilative treatment is often sufficient and upper thoracic sympathectomy is unnecessary.
