What Do Visible Veins On Body Of A Child Indicate?

My 5 year old son had very visable veins all over his body including his forehead and side of his face. He just went to the toilet and on his chest must have been around 20 large veins all over his chest and belly going up his neck. Id say the only way to describe it was like bare tree branches stemming all the way up hos body. Any ideas on what it could be?
