Background Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital cutaneous vascular anomaly. About 300 cases were reported in the littérature. It is associated persistent cutis marmorata, telangiectasia, and phlebectasia. Case report We report a case of male neonate who has multiple bruises and purple macules on the skin anastomosed making a reticulated appearance as a spider’s web, those skin lesions cover the trunk and legs but did not affect the face and did not disappear during the warming of the baby. Limits between normal and involved skin were atrophic. Given the constellation of clinical finding, Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC) was diagnosed. The cranial ultrasound and the fundus eye were normal. Abdominal Doppler ultrasound was showed Compartmentalized cyst of the left kidney. The electroencephalography and the cardiac echography were normal. Conclusion CMTC is a rare skin disease whose determinism remains unknown. Other congenital anomalies can be seen. The prognosis depends on the associated anomalies but it is generally good. Some cases have spontaneous resolution.
