Abstract
Purpose To report 2 cases of enlarged foveal avascular zone (FAZ) on optical coherence angiography (OCTA) imaging in pediatric patients with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC). Observations A 10-week-old female and a 3-year-old male diagnosed with CMTC presented for retinal examination. Both had peripheral avascularity on fluorescein angiography (FA) and enlargement of the FAZ on OCTA in both eyes. Conclusions and Importance Pediatric patients with CMTC should undergo ocular evaluation with not only FA, but also OCTA to more robustly evaluate the affected retina in this rare disease.

Abstract
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is a rare congenital vascular malformation characterised by cutaneous vascular abnormalities, typically diagnosed at birth or in the early postnatal period. Although typically benign, this disease is associated with other systemic abnormalities, including rare ocular alterations, such as congenital glaucoma, cataracts and retinopathy.This manuscript describes a female infant, who presented with generalised livedo reticularis, a band of alopecia and cutaneous atrophy in the temporal region above the coronal suture. The patient was diagnosed with cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita by a paediatrician, and an ophthalmological evaluation was requested. A funduscopy examination in both eyes showed temporal and superior retina with avascular areas with new vessels, venous dilations and shunts, and no retinal detachments. Given these findings, we performed retinal photocoagulation laser treatment with excellent results.This case report highlights the importance of early ophthalmological evaluation of children with this disease to prevent secondary complications, such as vitreous haemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment.

Abstract
Vascular malformations are intricate anomalies of the circulatory system, presenting a diverse array of clinical manifestations, and posing significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. The pathogenesis of vascular malformations is explored through the lens of genetic and molecular mechanisms, shedding light on the pivotal role of somatic mutations and dysregulated signaling pathways. Clinical presentations of vascular malformations are widely variable, ranging from cosmetic concerns to life-threatening complications. The utility of imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and angiography, are discussed in detail, emphasizing their role in precise delineation and characterization. Therapeutic strategies for vascular malformations are multifaceted, considering factors such as lesion size, location, potential complications, and patient-specific factors. Traditional interventions, including surgical excision and embolization, are appraised alongside emerging approaches like targeted molecular therapies and minimally invasive procedures. The manuscript underscores the need for an individualized treatment approach, optimizing outcomes while minimizing risks and complications. In summation, this manuscript offers a comprehensive analysis of vascular malformations, encompassing their underlying pathogenesis, clinical nuances, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic considerations. By synthesizing current knowledge and highlighting gaps in understanding, this review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and medical practitioners, fostering an enhanced comprehension of vascular malformations and paving the way for improved patient care and innovative research endeavors.

Abstract
Many rare genetic variants are associated with the risk of atypical neurodevelopmental trajectories. In this study, we report a patient with developmental delay, autistic traits and multiple congenital anomalies, including congenital heart anomalies and orofacial cleft, with a 0.832 Mb de novo deletion of the 16p13.13 region classified as a variant of uncertain significance. Comparison of similar sized deletions and duplications overlapping the same genes in the DECIPHER database, revealed seven reports of copy number variants (CNVs), four duplications and three deletions. A neurodevelopmental phenotype including learning disability and intellectual disability was noted in some of the DECIPHER entries where phenotype was provided. Although the association between a deletion in this region and an atypical neurodevelopmental trajectory remains to be elucidated, the overlapping CNVs with neurodevelopmental phenotypes suggests possible candidate genes within the 16p13.13 region.

Abstract
Biallelic variants in DI3SL2 cause Perlman Syndrome, associated increased risk for Wilms tumor. Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by cutaneous vascular anomalies. We report a 2-year-old boy with both Wilms tumor and CMTC. Genetic testing, prompted by his complex presentation, revealed 1 somatic mutation and 1 familial germline mutation in the DIS3L2 gene, suggesting a 2-hit causation of Wilms tumor. Separately, a single GNA11 somatic mutation was identified to explain the CMTC. We suggest that genetic testing for germline mutations associated with Wilms tumor susceptibility be considered even in cases without known family history.

Abstract
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by slow mental and physical growth, skeletal abnormalities (broad thumbs and big toes), and dysmorphic facial features. RSTS is associated with de novo variants of the epigenetic-associated gene CREBBP. RSTS is primarily diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and genetic testing. Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare, congenital, and typically benign vascular anomaly of unknown etiology; it is described as persistent reticulated marbled erythema. The diagnosis of CMTC is largely based on clinical features, and GNA11 mutations are associated with CMTC. In this case report, we describe the case of a preterm infant (boy) with RSTS and CMTC who had a novel frameshift mutation leading to a premature stop codon in the CREBBP gene. This study adds the novel mutation c.5837dupC to the known molecular spectrum of disease-causing CREBBP gene mutations.

Abstract
Juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) is a subset of primary open-angle glaucoma that is diagnosed before 40 years of age. The disease may be familial or non-familial, with proportions varying among different populations. Myocilin mutations are the most commonly associated. JOAG is characterized by high intraocular pressures (IOP), with many patients needing surgery. The mean age at diagnosis is in the 3rd decade, with a male preponderance. Myopia is a common association. The pathophysiology underlying the disease is immaturity of the conventional outflow pathways, which may or may not be observed on gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. The unique optic nerve head features include large discs with deep, steep cupping associated with high IOP-induced damage. Progression rates among JOAG patients are comparable to adult primary glaucomas, but as the disease affects younger patients, the projected disability from this disease is higher. Early diagnosis, prompt management, and life-long monitoring play an important role in preventing disease progression. Gene-based therapies currently under investigation offer future hope.

Abstract
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital cutaneous vascular anomaly with a reticular marbled erythematous pattern, which can result in isolated benign skin lesions or less commonly be associated with systemic anomalies. Occasionally, the characteristic pattern of CMTC lesions is masked on initial presentation, creating a diagnostic conundrum that can result in unnecessary workups to rule out vasculopathy. We present the case of a female newborn with a red-blue ulcerated skin lesion on the right leg and foot, which initially appeared as retiform purpura but evolved to exhibit the mottled pattern of CMTC by 5 days of age. Clinicians must be made aware of this potential diagnostic trap in early CMTC to avoid invasive skin biopsies and unnecessary laboratory testing in neonates.
