Intracerebral hemorrhage associated with livedo racemosa.
We report on a case of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with livedo racemosa in a 13-year-old girl. A skin biopsy specimen showed endothelitis and mixed inflammatory cellular infiltrate around the small arteries. We believe that the cerebral hemorrhage might have been caused by fragility of the intracranial small arteries and that this case could be an example of an early stage of Sneddon's syndrome.
