Abstract
- Sneddon's syndrome consists of livedo reticularis and ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which was reported by Sneddon in 1965. Althrough the etiology of it is not clear, this syndrome appears frequantly in patient with antiphospholipid antibody or early stage of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. We report a 32-year-old female patient who had been suffered from livedo reticularis and premature cerebral infarction. VDRL was false positive for over 5 years. These findings were compatible with Sneddon's syndrome.
