Summary
Sneddon's syndrome, a rare condition causing skin lesions and strokes, was diagnosed in a young woman. Skin biopsy revealed endarteritis obliterans, confirming the clinical diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Dermatology
- Pathology
Background:
- Sneddon's syndrome is a rare, non-inflammatory occlusive hydrocephalus characterized by recurrent ischemic strokes and livedo reticularis.
- The condition primarily affects young women and can lead to significant neurological deficits.

01:29Nondisjunction
During meiosis, chromosomes occasionally separate improperly. This occurs due to failure of homologous chromosome separation during meiosis I or failed sister chromatid separation during meiosis II. In some species, notably plants, nondisjunction can result in an organism with an entire additional set of chromosomes, which is called polyploidy. In humans, nondisjunction can occur during male or female gametogenesis and the resulting gametes possess one too many or one too few chromosomes.
01:43Sex Linked Disorders
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
