摘　　要：BACKGROUND This report delves into the diagnostic and therapeutic journey undertaken by a patient with Sneddon's syndrome(SS)and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Particular emphasis is placed on the comprehensive elucidation of SS's clinical manifestations,the intricate path to diagnosis,and the exploration of potential underlying mechanisms.CASE SUMMARY A 26-year-old woman presented with recurrent episodes of paroxysmal unilateral limb weakness accompanied by skin mottling,seizures,and cognitive impairment.Digital subtraction angiography revealed CVST.Despite negative antiphospholipid antibody results,skin biopsy indicated chronic inflammatory cell infiltration.The patient was treated using anticoagulation,antiepileptic therapy,and supportive care,which resulted in symptom improvement.The coexistence of SS and CVST is rare and the underlying pathophysiology remains uncertain.This case underscores the challenge in diagnosis and highlights the need for early clinical differentiation to facilitate accurate assessment and prompt intervention.CONCLUSION This article has reported and analyzed the clinical data,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of a case of SS with CVST and reviewed the relevant literature to improve the clinical understanding of this rare condition.
