Abstract
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly characterized by a cutaneous reticulated vascular network. Although it is usually isolated, it can sometimes be associated with systemic anomalies, including macrocephaly, a condition termed Macrocephaly-CMTC syndrome (M-CMTC). We report the case of a one-month-old girl diagnosed with M-CMTC, associated with seizures and limb asymmetry. After treatment with antiepileptic drugs and careful follow-up, the patient’s condition improved, with regression of the skin lesions and no further seizures.
