Talk:Klippel Trenaunay syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
from VfD:
Dicdef. Was listed for Speedy Deletion by Lucky 6.9. Not a candidate for Speedy Deletion, so I'm listing it here. If anyone would like to expand the article, a good start can be found here. No vote. SWAdair | Talk 07:29, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I've replaced the dicdef with a stub. - TB 09:48, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Excellent stub! Thanks, TB. Keep. SWAdair | Talk 09:51, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, clearly. No reason this should ever have been listed, speedy or otherwise. Jgm 14:26, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Excellent work team. Agree it shouldn't have been listed for any sort of deletion, but no process works 100% and this one has delivered the goods on this occasion. And we've all learned things I think. Andrewa 19:08, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Four words does not an article make. Keep new stub. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:31, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed. Valid subject, useless substub and listing it here gave us a great new article. Keep! - Lucky 6.9 18:08, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: FWIW, here's the total content of the original anon contribution: Blood vessal formation problem. - Lucky 6.9 18:11, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: I take your point. My thoughts were and still are that it would have been less work IMO to have stubified it in the first place than to have listed it here, and that it wasn't ever a candidate for speedy. But once it was listed for speedy, listing it here was a good move IMO. This isn't intended to be an attack on anyone, just a reflection on how things can work better.

- Again, I agree. Except for the wiki, it looked like another one of those damned vandal bot listings that aren't anything more than a title and a body either with the title repeated or some ridiculous two- or three-word statement. - Lucky 6.9 22:05, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Reforming this article to be accurate and up-to-date, and also renaming to match the proper naming of the syndrome
Facts:
A. There isn't any "Klippel Trenaunay Weber" syndrome. It is simply Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome. Doctors have been misdiagnosing this for quite a while. However, it is agreed upon by most doctors, including those found at the Mayo Clinic, Boston Children's Hospital, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and at the Klippel Trenaunay support group website. The Weber portion is actually part of a separate syndrome.
B. The symptoms are far too inaccurate. My guess is that the article only represents possibly half, or even less of KTS (Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome) affected people.
C. The treatments provided are sorely out of date, inaccurate, and possibly biased. Sclerotherapy, while a relatively new procedure, is only applicable in specific cases, and is not a cure-all for the syndrome, not by a long shot. Also, "debulkings" have had a decent success rate, especially as technology has improved over the past couple decades. There are also other non-invasive treatments that are not even mentioned.
D. The article itself is fairly old and needs a lot more content.
As such, I'll be making my best effort over the coming weeks to improve this article, and also to move it to its proper place. If you have any comments, questions or wish to help out, let me know!
