Newborn with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita: a case report and review of the literature

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare vascular disorder characterized by persistent marbled erythema, vascular telangiectasia, and skin atrophy, with unknown etiology and prevalence.Associated congenital abnormalities occur in up to 80% of patients.Here, we presented a case of female neonate, born at 42+1/7 weeks of gestation, who presented with bluish-red skin discoloration, marbled erythema, telangiectasias, and cutaneous atrophy.The newborn was transferred on the first day of life to our center due to suspected vascular malformations and for differential diagnosis.After admission to department, medical examination, imaging, and laboratory tests were performed.Clinical presentation was clearly suggestive of CMTC.In order to exclude other anomalies, multispecialty consultations were recommended.The newborn was discharged home on day 14 th of life.Suspected CMTC requires thorough differential diagnosis.Patients with CMTC require regular follow-up visits to detect possible subsequent complications in the early stages of life.
