title: Sneddon's syndrome associated with anticardiolipin antibody: a case report.
abstract: We report the case of a young man suffering from the rare combination of livedo reticularis and recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular disease (Sneddon's syndrome). He also had a circulating anticardiolipin antibody. in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus, we suggest the likelihood of a primary antiphospholipid syndrome.
