The results of a neurological, neuropsychological and MRI study of the brain in 21 patients (aged 18-59 years) with Sneddon's syndrome are reported. The predominant findings were marked neuropsychological deficits in two-thirds of the patients. 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.

D018860 Sneddon Syndrome A systemic non-inflammatory arteriopathy primarily of middle-aged females characterized by the association of LIVEDO RETICULARIS, multiple thrombotic CEREBRAL INFARCTION; CORONARY DISEASE, and HYPERTENSION. Elevation of antiphospholipid antibody titers (see also ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME), cardiac valvulopathy, ISCHEMIC ATTACK, TRANSIENT; SEIZURES; DEMENTIA; and chronic ischemia of the extremities may also occur. Pathologic examination of affected arteries reveals non-inflammatory adventitial fibrosis, thrombosis, and changes in the media (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Syndromes & Eponymic Diseases, 2d ed; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p861; Arch Neurol 1997 Jan;54(1):53-60). Mutations in the CECR1 gene (ADA2 protein, human) are associated with Sneddon syndrome.
