## Abstract

Sneddon syndrome, also known as livedo reticularis with cerebrovascular accidents, is a rare but chronic condition that affects blood vessels in the skin and brain. This syndrome is characterized by a net-like appearance on the skin, known as livedo reticularis, which occurs due to the constriction of blood vessels. In addition to skin manifestations, Sneddon syndrome is often associated with repeated neurological events, such as strokes or transient ischemic attacks. These neurological symptoms can vary in severity and can lead to various complications. Upon admission to the stroke unit, a 28-year-old female was found to have bilateral livedo reticularis affecting the soles and the dorsal sides of the hands. Patient evaluation is done through medical history, physical examination, routine laboratory tests, and other diagnostic procedures.
