Sneddon's Syndrome

Sneddon Syndrome

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unusual in Sneddon's syndrome and has not been reported as the presenting complaint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypertension

    Hypertension is the only risk factor significantly associated with a more severe course of the disease; no medication proved effective. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Vascular Disease

    Sneddon's syndrome is a rare vascular disease affecting mainly skin and brain arterioles leading to their occlusion due to excessive endothelial proliferation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Here, we describe the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting with a 4-year history of a throbbing, bilateral, parieto-occipital headache associated with facial pain, but without any other accompanying symptom. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Stroke

    Considered in the context of increased risk of stroke with migraine, a higher frequency of livedo in migraineurs with stroke, and the association of migraine and livedo reticularis, the question of whether livedo reticularis may be a risk marker for stroke [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Dizziness

    Nonspecific prodromal symptoms (headache, dizziness) frequently (80%) precede livedo racemosa for 3.5 and (multi)focal neurological symptoms of fully developed disease for 9 years followed by progressive cognitive impairment (60%) 10 years later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Non-specific prodromal symptoms (headache, dizziness) often precede livedo reticularis by several years and this is followed by the development of focal neurological symptoms and then progressive cognitive impairment. [skin-disorders.net]

    In the natural course of patients with SS, neurological events such as headache (62%) and dizziness (54%) have been recorded. [elsevier.es]

  • Neuralgia

    The pain, initially misdiagnosed as atypical trigeminal neuralgia, worsened up to chronic daily and such severely disabling headache that she was constrained to bed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    In this case the patient has not been properly treated for a 4-year period and an atypical bilateral trigeminal neuralgia was diagnosed. [thejournalofheadacheandpain.springeropen.com]

The success of warfarin in the treatment of antiphospholipid syndromes and the failure of immunosuppression and aspirin in the treatment of Sneddon's syndrome argue that warfarin anticoagulation may be the most appropriate intervention currently available [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Management and treatment The most widely accepted treatment is anticoagulation with warfarin. [orpha.net]

An additional anticoagulation treatment with heparin and warfarin was started and maintained for the treatment of the disease. The skin ulcers were treated daily with aseptic dressing. [e-aps.org]

While sensorimotor deficits after stroke in these patients had a good prognosis, neuropsychological deficits persisted. Of the 21 patients, 14 were incapable of gainful employment, 10 because of severe cognitive dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Some symptoms tend to resolve over a very variable time course. Prevention of further vascular events with anticoagulation is the key to a good prognosis. [patient.info]

The objectives were to assess the clinicoradiological pattern of SS without APL (SSAPL ) and its midterm prognosis. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Summary Epidemiology SS has an estimated annual incidence of approximately 1/250,000. The disease predominantly affects women in young adulthood. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology Incidence is estimated at four cases per million population per year, but the true incidence may be higher because some patients are not diagnosed. [patient.info]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Sneddon's syndrome is a rare condition that is usually misdiagnosed. [3] It occurs in families and may be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. [en.wikipedia.org]

The pathophysiology of Sneddon's syndrome remains elusive, but various prothrombotic abnormalities have been previously reported in this setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology This disease has at least two distinct etiologies, listed in the next section (pathophysiology). [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Treatment with a combination of immunosuppressive agents and warfarin or aspirin prevented further complications and improved renal function. It is important for those in different specialties to be aware of this potentially treatable disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
