Abstract

Cutis marmorata telangiectatic congenita (CMTC) is a very rare congenital disorder that is characterized by vascular reticulated and fixed patterns on the skin along with discrepancies in limb length. It was first described by Van Louhizen in 1922 and is also called the Lohuizen syndrome. Approximately only 300 cases have been reported till date. It can mimic several congenital disorders, such as Adams–Oliver syndrome (AOS), Bockenheimer’s syndrome, Divry van Bogeart syndrome, Klippel– Trinaunay syndrome, livedo recemosa, M-CMTC syndrome, and reticular haemangioma syndrome. Furthermore, recognizing it is critical since it can affect several organ systems, although rarely. While histopathological and genetic abnormalities have been reported, CMTC is predominantly a clinical diagnosis due to its unclear pathogenesis. Herein, we present the case of a 6-month-old child who was diagnosed with CMTC.
