Letter to the Editor: Sneddon's Syndrome versus Susac Syndrome

Dear Editor,

I read with interest the article titled "Acute central retinal artery occlusion associated with livedoid vasculopathy: a variant of Sneddon's syndrome [1] and there may be a different diagnosis. Since a few cases of young patients have been identified with Susac syndrome with livedo, could this case represent a case of this disorder? Did the patient have an magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain and were there any callosal lesions? What did the fluorescein angiogram of the left (the normal) eye show? This was not included in the paper. This author will state that central retinal artery occlusion is very rare in Susac syndrome but not impossible. Has this patient's hearing been checked?
