Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (Congenital Phlebectasia, Van Lohuizen Syndrome) is characterized by the presence of a purplish, reticulated vascular network with a segmental distribution, usually involving the extremities. The mottling is pronounced and is made more distinct by crying, vigorous activity, and cold. Lesions usually improve by 2 years of age, but may remain stable.
