Sneddon's syndrome and pregnancy; a case report.

The diagnostic and therapeutic problems posed by Sneddon's syndrome are discussed with reference to the case of a 31-year-old pregnant woman. This patient developed episodes of cerebral ischemia with multiple neurological deficits in the 24th week of pregnancy. The symptoms were associated with the dermatological signs of livedo racemosa. Delivery by Cesarean section in the 36th week of pregnancy resulted in marked improvement of the neurological signs and symptoms.
