Description

perioral cyanosis- A blue color around the lips and philtrum is a relatively common finding shortly after birth. This is part of acrocyanosis. The skin in this infant is visibly well perfused, and the tongue and mucous membranes in the mouth were pink, a finding that assures the examiner that central cyanosis is not present. This finding resolved spontaneously over the next 48 hours. #clinical #photo #peds #pediatrics #newborn #perioral #cyanosis #acrocyanosis
