Sneddon's Syndrome . . . is a rare neurovascular disorder combining a bluish, net-like mottling of the skin and transient neurological episodes which are often severe. Sneddon's patients also suffer day-to-day battles with dizziness, severe head or eye pain, unusual muscle spasms (often in the face) and high blood pressure. For all Sneddon's patients there is the persistent threat of stroke, as well as the threat of memory problems that could

First, most Sneddon's patients suffer from recurrent TIA's,

small strokes that are generally impossible to detect with

medical tests. As a result, Sneddon's patients are sometimes

dismissed with diagnoses of "stress" or depression, while every terrifying episode increases the risk of early dementia.

of untreated illness and the potentially disabling side effects

of inappropriate medication.

Finally, Sneddon's patients with full stroke sometimes

receive delayed treatment as doctors struggle to accept the

possibility of stroke in younger patients or the need for

continued preventative measures.

In response to these challenges, the U.S. Sneddon's

Foundation was formed in May 2008. Together we can

change the climate of confusion around this

difficult disease.
