Sneddon's syndrome: a rare cause of diffuse vasculopathy. A case report with review of the literature.
We report a case of Sneddon's syndrome in a 39-year-old woman who developed recurrent cerebral ischaemic events associated with a livedo racemosa. We describe the clinical and radiological features of this rare vasculopathy. We also comment on the nosological place of the disorder and its possible association with antiphospholipid antibodies.
