AB This  term  means  “marbled  skin”  and  is  intended  to  describe  the  appearance  of  the  skin  in  which  the  terminal  vessels  are  so  superficial  and  dilated  that  they  are  constantly  visible  in  patterns  that  vaguely  suggest  veined  marble.  This  condition  is  physiologic  in  the  newborn  and  represents  a  vasomotor  response  to  lowering  of  the  environmental  temperature.  Persistent  cutis  marmorata  is  seen  in  Down  syndrome  and  in  trisomy  18.
