Abstract
Harlequin colour change is a transient condition that alarms parents usually. The skin area that infant lay on is erythematous, other part is pale and there is a sharp boundary in the middle of the body. Sometimes it does not occur on face and genital area, mucous membranes. Erythema and pallor replace by changing position. It is thought that the cause of it is vasodilatation due to lack of vascular tone depending on immature hypothalamic or sympathetic system. It is also reported that this condition may develop depending on traumas preponderant to sympathetic chain, tumours and vascular pathologies. We have reported a case due to it has differences about clinical presentation between other reported cases.
