    This study reports on three young females with livedo racemosa and cerebral infarction, indicating a widespread small and mid-artery vasculopathy. Chronic endarteritis is suggested as a potential cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Generalized livedo racemosa and cerebral infarction are serious conditions requiring etiological investigation.
    • Understanding the underlying vascular pathology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Three young female patients presented with generalized livedo racemosa and cerebral infarction.
    • Radiologic imaging revealed widespread arterial involvement.

    Findings:

    • Biopsies indicated a vasculopathy affecting small and mid-sized arteries.
    • Temporal artery biopsies suggested chronic endarteritis as a possible cause.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights a potential link between livedo racemosa, cerebral infarction, and chronic endarteritis in young females.
