Central Retinal Artery Occlusion in Sneddon's Disease Associated With Antiphospholipid Antibodies

A 33-year-old woman with retinal artery occlusion also had Sneddon's disease (livedo reticularis, neurologic abnormalities, and labile hypertension). While retinal artery occlusive disease obviously must be added to the symptomatic spectrum of this rare disorder, the detection of antiphospholip...

Zusammenfassung:	A 33-year-old woman with retinal artery occlusion also had Sneddon's disease (livedo reticularis, neurologic abnormalities, and labile hypertension). While retinal artery occlusive disease obviously must be added to the symptomatic spectrum of this rare disorder, the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies in this patient has pathogenetic implications.
