Summary

Fifteen patients with Sneddon's syndrome presenting since 1979 were re-examined. After a neurological examination, an orienting test of mental ability as well as an electroencephalogram were performed in all patients. In 10 of the 15 patients computed tomography of the brain was performed, too. Preceding reports and the results of the present study have been used to discuss the characteristics and prognosis of Sneddon's syndrome.
