Livedo reticularis, developmental delay and stroke-like episode in a 7-year-old male.

[sneddon syndrome]

Livedo reticularis is a vascular abnormality of the skin resulting in an erythematous reticular rash . The combination of livedo reticularis and stroke-like episodes in adults is known as Sneddon syndrome [Sneddon , IB (1965 ). Br J Dermatol 77 :180 -188 ]. A similar combination of stroke-like episodes and livedo reticularis has been reported to occur in children [Baxter P et al . (1993 ). Dev Med Child Neuro 35 :917 -926 ]. We present here a 7 -year -old male with congenital livedo reticularis , obesity , developmental delay , stroke -like episode , hypertension and cystic kidneys . We summarize our patient 's findings and family history , and compare his disorder to other possibly related conditions .
