Uniprot Description A systemic non-inflammatory thrombotic vasculopathy characterized by the association of livedo racemosa, and in some cases livedo reticularis, with cerebrovascular disease. Livedo racemosa is a persistent net-like violaceous-cyanotic, mottled discoloration of the skin affecting the legs, the arms, the buttocks and the trunk; livedo reticularis is limited to the extremities and is visible only in the cold. Cerebrovascular features include recurrent transient ischemic attacks, infarcts, and rarely spinal strokes or intracranial or subarachnoid hemorrhages. Headache and vertigo may precede the onset of livedo racemosa and cerebrovascular manifestations by several years. Rare neurologic symptoms include seizures, chorea, or myelopathies.
