[Sneddon Syndrome and antiphospholipid antibodyies: an etiology of later al homonymous hemianopia].
[sneddon syndrome]
Sneddon
's
syndrome
is
a
particular
and
rare
entity
that
mostly
affects
young
women
and
whose
diagnosis
is
based
on
the
coexistence
of
a
cuteaneous
livedo
and
a
cerebrovascular
ischemic
attack
.
It
had
be
considered
as
being
an
expression
of
an
occlusive
vasculitis
or
of
antiphospholipid
antibody
syndrome
.
We
report
the
case
of
a
20
-
year
-old
female
,
who
had
developed
a
left
homonymous
hemianopia
after
ischemic
encephalopathy
.
Visual
field
examination
confirmed
the
presence
of
a
complete
left
homonymous
hemianopia
.
Cerebral
Magnetic
Resonance
Imaging
revealed
right
occipital
cerebrovascular
ischemic
lesions
.
Sneddon
's
syndrome
diagnosis
was
considered
on
the
presence
of
cutaneous
livedo
reticularis
and
associated
cerebral
ischemic
events
.
With
medical
treatment
,
a
small
functional
improvement
could
be
noticed
but
without
net
improvement
in
the
visual
field
defect
.
