Özet

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is a rare, benign, sporadic and cutaneous vascular disease. A newborn female baby whose mother was aged 29 years and used propylthiouracil during pregnancy was hospitalized because of varicose lesions on the skin of the lower extremity and on the back, which were present at birth. It was observed that the lesions did not disappear, although appropriate room temperature was provided. The patient was diagnosed as having cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita and screened for additional anomalies. She had no additional anomalies, and she was discharged and monitored. At the postnatal sixth month, the cutaneous vascular lesions disappeared spontaneously. Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which is a rare condition, should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of physiologic cutis marmoratus, which occurs frequently in the neonatal period.
