Congenital plaque-type glomuvenous malformation (GVM) is caused by loss of function mutations in glomulin gene. We report a newborn with this rare vascular disorder associated with chylous ascites. The common mesenchymal origin of GVM and lymphatic vessels as well as the glomulin expression in vascular smooth muscle cells in utero could help explain this unusual prenatal complication of glomuvenous malformations.

Dacryocystocele consist in congenital dilatation of the tear duct. It is a benign anomaly with a good prognosis that is caused by blockage of the nasolacrimal drainage system. Classically it appears as a bluish mass in the region of the inner edge of the eye and, less frequently, as respiratory distress in the neonatal period. We report a case of a newborn with episodic cyanosis and difficult feeding secondary to dacryocystocele.
