A cutaneous biopsy may help in the diagnosis.<br />Abstract: Sneddon syndrome (SS) is a clinical entity corresponding to a noninflammatory thrombotic vasculopathy that typically includes livedo racemosa and cerebrovascular ischemia. Psychiatric symptoms with cognitive impairment often occur but are rarely the inaugural symptoms. We present a case of secondary SS in a 45-year-old man in whom dementia and psychosis revealed the disease.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.<br /> (© 2023 The Authors.
