CASE PRESENTATIONS: In the first of two cases reported here, a 2-week-old Japanese baby girl was given a diagnosis of
phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type II and Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome because of
port-wine stains,
cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and aberrant Mongolian spots over her trunk and limbs. After five
laser therapy sessions under
general anesthesia, her aberrant Mongolian spots and
port-wine stains have improved. But interestingly, the
cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita on the patient's back has improved without
laser therapy.In the second case, a 4-month-old Japanese baby boy was referred to us because of
port-wine stains,
cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and aberrant Mongolian spots over his face, trunk and limbs.
Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type II was diagnosed and
laser therapy was started. After three
laser therapy sessions under
general anesthesia, the aberrant Mongolian spots and
port-wine stains have improved. The
cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita on the baby's back, buttocks, and arms has faded somewhat without
laser therapy.
