  • Title: Livedo reticularis, developmental delay and stroke-like episode in a 7-year-old male.
    Author: Wheeler PG, Medina S, Dusick A, Bull MJ, Andreoli SP, Edwards-Brown M, Weaver DD.
    Journal: Clin Dysmorphol; 1998 Jan; 7(1):69-74. PubMed ID: 9546837.
    Abstract:
    Livedo reticularis is a vascular abnormality of the skin resulting in an erythematous reticular rash. The combination of livedo reticularis and stroke-like episodes in adults is known as Sneddon syndrome [Sneddon, IB (1965). Br J Dermatol 77:180-188]. A similar combination of stroke-like episodes and livedo reticularis has been reported to occur in children [Baxter P et al. (1993). Dev Med Child Neuro 35:917-926]. We present here a 7-year-old male with congenital livedo reticularis, obesity, developmental delay, stroke-like episode, hypertension and cystic kidneys. We summarize our patient's findings and family history, and compare his disorder to other possibly related conditions.
