“…A similar combination of strokelike episodes and livedo racemosa has been reported to occur in children in rare circumstances [105]. Data suggest that it is under-diagnosed [93] with the expected incidence of cases to be 4 per 1 million per annum [109]. It has been estimated that the disorder occurs in about 1:2000 stroke patients [97,98].…”

Livedo is a cutaneous sign of striking violaceous netlike patterned erythema of the skin. This dermatological phenomenon is of special interest in the differential diagnosis in neurological patients. In 1907 Ehrmann distinguished two different patterns of livedo: the pathological livedo racemosa and the physiological livedo reticularis. Despite important clinical differences, in the English language literature the heading livedo reticularis is still used for all types of livedo. A literature review about the spectrum of differential diagnosis in patients with livedo reticularis (especially cutis marmorata and amantadine-induced livedo reticularis) and livedo racemosa (especially Sneddon's syndrome, Divry-van Bogaert syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, cholesterol embolization syndrome, livedoid vasculopathy and haematological diseases) is provided.

“…Furthermore, true cerebral vasculitis is very uncommon in SLE-related APS [38][39][40][41]. Arteriolar changes very similar to the late stages observed in the skin of SNS by Zelger et al [10] have been described in the brain of SLE patients. In our experience, the prevalence of mitral regurgitation was not different in SLE-and primary APS-related SNS (40% vs. 53%).…”

“…Conversely, Zelger et al reported in a series of aPL-negative SNS patients a sequence of histological events from large skin samples taken at the centre of the fishnet pattern [10]. Only small to medium-size arteries at the dermissubcutis border were involved.…”

“…Stagerelated differences may explain contradictory reports on the therapeutic effect of steroids and azathioprine. 34 None of the dermatological, neurological, or neuroradiological findings are diagnostic for SS. A large number of diseases that can occur with GLR (such as polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, cryoglobulinemia, livedoid vasculitis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, cold agglutinin disease, arteriosclerosis, and others2'3 '38) …”
