Sneddon syndrome presenting with unilateral third cranial nerve palsy.
[sneddon syndrome]
Sneddon
syndrome
is
a
rare
systemic
vasculopathy
affecting
the
skin
as
livedo
racemosa
and
the
central
nervous
system
as
stroke
.
A
31
-
year
-old
man
with
a
history
of
livedo
racemosa
presented
with
a
partial
left
third
nerve
palsy
.
Skin
biopsy
showed
signs
of
endotheliitis
with
obliteration
of
dermal
blood
vessels
due
to
intimal
proliferation
and
fibrin
thrombi
consistent
with
Sneddon
syndrome
.
The
patient
was
treated
with
platelet
antiaggregant
therapy
with
complete
resolution
of
his
third
nerve
palsy
.
Clinicians
should
be
aware
of
Sneddon
syndrome
because
prompt
diagnosis
and
treatment
may
prevent
potential
morbidity
and
mortality
.
