Abstract
Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC) is an uncommon, sporadic, usually congenital, cutaneous vascular disorder of unknown aetiology. Clinically characterised by persistent cutis marmorata , telangiectasia, cutaneous atrophy and ulceration. CMTC have been found to be associated with many anomalies like limb asymmetry, cutis aplasia congenital, hemangiomas , pigmented nevi , macrocephaly , glaucoma etc. Diagnosis is made on clinical grounds. The prognosis of CMTC is mostly benign with half of patients demonstrating resolution of fixed reticulated erythema over two years but because of associated anomalies patients should be properly examined and investigated. Here, we are reporting a 3 month old girl child with fixed reticulated erythematous lesion distributed in a generalized pattern with limb hypertrophy present since birth.
