  • Title: Acute central retinal artery occlusion associated with livedoid vasculopathy: a variant of Sneddon's syndrome.
    Author: Song HB, Woo SJ, Jung CK, Lee YJ, Ahn J, Park KH, Kwon OK.
    Journal: Korean J Ophthalmol; 2013 Oct; 27(5):376-80. PubMed ID: 24082777.
    Abstract:
    Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is characterized by a long history of ulceration of the feet and legs and histopathology indicating a thrombotic process. We report a case of acute central retinal artery occlusion in a 32-year-old woman who had LV. She showed no discernible laboratory abnormalities such as antiphospholipid antibodies and no history of cerebrovascular accidents. Attempted intra-arterial thrombolysis showed no effect in restoring retinal arterial perfusion or vision. The central retinal artery occlusion accompanied by LV in this case could be regarded as a variant form of Sneddon's syndrome, which is characterized by livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular accidents.
