Summary

Sneddon syndrome, a rare cerebrovascular condition, presents with livedo reticularis and progressive neurological decline. Early hemicranic attacks signal this serious condition, requiring prompt diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Sneddon syndrome is a rare, non-inflammatory occlusive hydrocephalus characterized by the association of livedo reticularis and recurrent ischemic stroke.
  • The syndrome primarily affects young adults and can lead to significant neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with hemicranic attacks as the initial symptom.
  • The patient experienced a progressive course of neurological symptoms over time.

Findings:

  • Cerebral CT scan, NMR, and cerebral arteriography indicated progressive cerebral multifarctual changes.
  • These changes predominantly involved medium-sized arteries, consistent with Sneddon syndrome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing livedo reticularis in the context of cerebrovascular events.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patients with Sneddon syndrome to mitigate progressive neurological damage.
