Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita

📋Overview

Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita is a rare vascular malformation present at birth or shortly thereafter, defined by a reticulated, bluish-purple pattern on the skin. This appearance is caused by the dilation of superficial capillaries and veins, which creates a stable marbled effect that does not typically disappear with warming.

While primarily a dermatological condition, this anomaly can manifest as a localized patch or affect larger areas of the body. Clinical observations indicate that while it often appears as an isolated finding, it may occasionally be associated with other congenital variations or underlying syndromes.
