Definition

Unilateral, flat, red capillarectatic spots of varying color depth (depending on blood flow) following traumatic damage (acquired port-wine stain). The pathomechanism is unclear, nervous damage appears to be at least a contributory cause, even if the vascular malformations cannot be assigned to segments or the course of peripheral nerves.

Therapy

At first observation and cosmetic covering e.g. with Dermacolor. If necessary, experiment with laser treatment(pulsed dye, argon laser).
