title: Sneddon's syndrome in a patient with homonymous hemianopia with macular sparing.
abstract: A 48-year-old women is described with the infrequent association of generalized livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular accident of idiopathic origin (Sneddon's syndrome-SS).

Though visual field impairments in SS have been reported, the type could usually not be specified precisely because of the dementia and lack of cooperation of the patients.
