Superior mesenteric artery stenting for mesenteric ischaemia in Sneddon's syndrome.

[sneddon syndrome]

Mesenteric ischaemia is a rare but serious cause of abdominal pain . We present the case of a man with Sneddon 's syndrome , who had symptomatic mesenteric ischaemia secondary to a superior mesenteric artery stenosis in conjunction with a hepatic artery stenosis . As far as the authors are aware , this has not previously been described in Sneddon 's syndrome , which is a vascular systemic disease characterized by an association between cerebrovascular accidents and a livedo reticularis skin rash . He was treated with balloon angioplasty and stent insertion , with good symptomatic improvement . This has implications for other stenoses in this condition should they become symptomatic .
