Harlequin Color Change after Abdominal Paracentesis in a Newborn with Neonatal Hemochromatosis

Harlequin color change is a distinctive cutaneous phenomenon presenting as a well‐demarcated color change, with half of the body displaying erythema and the other half pallor. Only a few cases have been reported, possibly because of under‐recognition. Recognition of this benign, self‐limited condition may enable physicians to avoid unnecessary interventions. Herein we describe a neonate with nonimmune hydrops fetalis due to neonatal hemochromatosis who developed Harlequin color change after abdominal paracentesis.
