Introduction:
Macrocephaly-capillary malformation syndrome is characterized by cutaneous vascular lesions, including cutis marmorata telangiectatica and hemangiomas, associated with congenital anomalies, including macrocephaly, macrosomia, asymmetry and mental retardation. In addition to these cardinal signs, several other clinical conditions have been reported in people with this condition. However, to the best of our knowledge, the presence of tetralogy of Fallot has not previously been reported in association with this syndrome.
Case presentation:
We present a case of a Mexican newborn girl with tetralogy of Fallot associated with macrocephaly-capillary malformation. We discuss the clinical treatment of the patient and its consequences.
Conclusion:
Since physiologic cutis marmorata is a common condition in newborns, the information provided in this report could be helpful in future cases in preventing severe clinical consequences or sudden death in patients with similar symptoms.
