ABSTRACT

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is characterised by a combination of vascular and pigmentary birthmarks. The association of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita with aberrant dermal melanocytosis has been named phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type V. Approximately 50% of patients have ocular, neurological or skeletal involvement, which requires further investigation. Accurate and early diagnosis will be important for the treatment of the patient.
