“…In several articles, improvement was described after 2 years of age [7, 34–37]. Patients with no improvement of CMTC were also described [15, 17, 38–43], but some of these patients had a short follow-up [44–46]. Adults with persistent erythema were also reported [27, 47, 48].…”

BackgroundCutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare capillary malformation characterised by persistent reticulated marbled erythema. It tends to be associated with cutaneous atrophy, ulcerations and body asymmetry. CMTC is usually reported to be a benign condition; however, associated anomalies are not rare. Here, we have compiled information on published CMTC patients with the aim to evaluate the proposed diagnostic criteria by Kienast et al. and address the clinical manifestations, associated anomalies, differential diagnoses, management and prognosis. Our review is based on a search of the PubMed database which retrieved studies between 1922 and April 2019. The search yielded 148 original articles with a total of 485 patients.ResultsOf the identified patients, 24.5% had generalised CMTC, 66.8% had localised and 8.7% had a non-specified distribution of CMTC. Associated anomalies were observed in 42.5% of patients, predominantly body asymmetry and neurological defects like seizure and developmental delay. Fewer patients (10.1%) had ophthalmological defects, usually glaucoma. The major criterium “absence of venectasia” was not met in 20.4% of patients.ConclusionWe suggest that children with CMTC should be referred to an ophthalmologist for regular follow-up, and children with CMTC affecting the legs should be monitored for leg length discrepancy throughout the growth period. Furthermore, we suggest reconsideration of the major criterium “absence of venectasia” from the proposed diagnostic criteria, and instead include body asymmetry.

A patient with multiple congenital vascular anomalies is described. The lesions are a nevus flammeus on the face, a nevus anemicus on the trunk, and asymmetric reticulated mottling of a lower extremity that had undergone spontaneous ulceration. The characteristics of these lesions are reviewed and the difficulty of differential diagnosis of the reticulated lesion is discussed. The ulcerations healed after administration of reserpine intraarterially followed by oral administration of phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride.
