ABSTRACT

Sneddon syndrome is a disease characterized by ischemic vascular cerebral events and livedo racemosus, it is associated with antiphospholipid antibodies, hypertension, convulsive crisis and cardiac valvulopathies, it’s a very rare disease with a poor prognosis, its pathophysiology is unknown. We present the case of a 32 years old woman attended at the Internal Medicine department of the hospital Centro Médico ABC, she presented with classical signs and symptoms of this syndrome.
