Abstract:
The cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita(CMTC) is characterized by the presence of purplish, reticulated vascular network with a localized or generalized distribution. The condition is present at birth and tends to improve with age, although some patients have lesion that remains relatively fixed throughout life. Multiple birth defects have been found in 50% of patients with CMTC. We experienced a case of CMTC in a 5-days-old infant. The patient had purplish reticulated patches with telangiectasia on the both arms, chest, abdomen, back, and both legs. The area of involved skin showed an atrophic change. There were no other associated anomalies. Also, we reviewed cases previously reported in Korea.
