Abstract

Sneddon's syndrome is a disease characterized by livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular lesions with unknown etiopathogenesis. We report a 16-year-old male patient who had been suffered from livedo reticularis for 10 years and multiple cerebral infarction for 2 years. Although the histologic finding of the skin did not show vasculitis and vascular occlusions, the patient revealed livedo reticularis and central nervous system symptoms. These findings were compatible with Sneddon's syndrome.
