Popis: Key Clinical Message The diagnosis of Sneddon Syndrome should be considered in adults with young‐onset dementia accompanied by neuropsychiatric signs and livedo racemosa. Magnetic resonance imaging and cerebral angiography are essential. A cutaneous biopsy may help in the diagnosis.

Psychiatric symptoms with cognitive impairment often occur but are rarely the inaugural symptoms. We present a case of secondary SS in a 45‐year‐old man in whom dementia and psychosis revealed the disease.
