Sneddon syndrome and the diagnostic value of skin biopsies - three young patients with intracerebral lesions and livedo racemosa.
[sneddon syndrome]
Sneddon
syndrome
is
a
rare
disorder
characterised
by
generalised
livedo
racemosa
of
the
skin
with
extracutaneous
neurological
symptoms
like
headache
,
vertigo
,
transient
ischaemic
attacks
(
TIA
)
,
stroke
,
and
seizures
.
Diagnosis
of
Sneddon
syndrome
is
based
on
these
clinical
features
and
positive
findings
in
skin
biopsies
,
namely
the
histological
proof
of
occlusion
of
arterioles
by
intimal
proliferation
.
We
describe
three
cases
of
young
patients
with
clinical
characteristics
of
Sneddon
syndrome
,
but
in
only
two
cases
could
this
diagnosis
be
confirmed
by
skin
biopsies
.
These
cases
stress
the
difficulty
of
diagnosing
Sneddon
syndrome
and
show
the
additive
value
of
skin
biopsies
in
this
process
.
