Sneddon syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by a non-inflammatory arteriopathy that affects small and medium-sized arteries. The condition is challenging to diagnose due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations. This case report presents a 34-year-old male patient with sudden-onset visual acuity loss in the left eye and progressive weakness of the left hemibody, associated with spastic tetraparesis and gait disturbance. The clinical presentation and imaging findings were consistent with Sneddon syndrome. MRI played a crucial role in the diagnosis, revealing asymmetrical cortical and subcortical signal abnormalities, periventricular white matter nodules, and lacunar infarcts. These findings are consistent with the known radiologic features of Sneddon syndrome. The case emphasizes the importance of imaging techniques, particularly MRI, in the diagnosis and management of Sneddon syndrome. It also highlights the challenges in diagnosing Sneddon Syndrome and the importance of considering this condition in young patients presenting with neurological symptoms and skin lesions.
