Comprehensive insights of Sneddon syndrome: A clinical perspective.

Abstract

Background: Sneddon's syndrome is a rare thrombotic vasculopathy characterized by the coexistence of both cerebrovascular events and livedo reticularis.

Objective: This review aims to raise awareness among physicians by discussing the whole clinical spectrum of the disease. Typically, Sneddon syndrome presents in middle-aged women with a cerebrovascular accident and a preexisting skin rash, which is livedo reticularis. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, relying on a high index of suspicion. Management focuses mainly on reducing the risk of cerebral infarctions and alleviating symptoms.

Conclusion: Further research is necessary to better understand the disease's nature, which will contribute to improving early diagnosis and optimal management.
