Familial inflammatory Sneddon's syndrome-case report and review of the literature.

[sneddon syndrome]

Sneddon 's syndrome (SNS ) which originally was a clinical diagnosis , is now regarded as a common clinical manifestation of different disease entities . It has been divided into idiopathic , autoimmune and thromboembolic subsets or in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE )-associated , antiphospholipid syndrome (APS )-associated and primary forms . Familial occurrence of Sneddon 's syndrome is rare . We present a familial case of Sneddon 's syndrome with inflammatory disease pattern , early disease onset and association with autoimmune thyroid disease and anticardiolipin antibodies . Although most authors reporting on adult cases of SNS consider it a non-inflammatory , thromboembolic process , the study of cases with early onset brings attention to the possible inflammatory origin of the syndrome .
