Abstract
Sneddon syndrome is a rare non-inflammatory obliterative vasculopathy, characterised by the association of cardiovascular (arterial hypertension, intermittent claudication, and coronary artery disease) and neurological events (ischaemic stroke, headache, dizziness and convulsions), and livedo reticularis/livedo racemosa. The case is presented of a woman admitted with an ischaemic neurological disease, hypertension, vascular problems, and skin lesions. The skin biopsy was classified as surface perivascular lymphocytic dermatitis, suggestive of occlusive lesion.
