French study tracks port wine stains in kids to uncover hidden risks
NCT ID NCT01364857
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 150 children aged 2 to 12 who have a port wine stain on a leg. Researchers tracked how the stain changes as the child grows, and whether it leads to problems like blood vessel issues or bone growth differences. The goal was to learn more about the condition and find clues that could help predict complications.
