1/3. Sneddon's syndrome. A case report.This report reviews the case of a young woman who has livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular disease. A skin biopsy specimen taken from normal skin showed endarteritis obliterans. This finding, in combination with the clinical findings, confirmed the diagnosis of Sneddon's syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = livedo reticularis, reticularis, livedo (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular accidents.livedo reticularis is a clinical pattern of cutaneous vascular involvement that can be seen in association with many diseases. The association of livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular accidents has been reported rarely in the past. We report on a 52-year-old woman with marked generalized livedo reticularis and cerebrovascular accidents who exhibited endarteritis obliterans without other pathologic changes on histologic examination of the skin. This constellation of findings suggest a primary vasculopathy with rather extensive involvement which merits our attention and further study.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.0511544683113keywords = livedo reticularis, reticularis, livedo (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Vascular ulcers in scleroderma.Seven patients with scleroderma and either livedo reticularis or atrophie blanche lesions had ulcers of the lower extremity. Livedoid vasculitis, periarteritis nodosa, or endarteritis obliterans lesions were associated with the ulcers. Five patients had livedoid vasculitis, one patient had associated lupus panniculitis, and one patient had rheumatoid arthritis. Four patients had elevated ESRs, four had positive antinuclear antibody tests, and two had positive tests for rheumatoid factor. patients with scleroderma and livedoid vasculitis or livedo reticularis and ulcers should be examined to rule out underlying vascular disease or endarteritis obliterans.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.1192123194448keywords = livedo reticularis, reticularis, livedo (Clic here for more details about this article) |
