SUMMARY Two patients with extensive livedo reticularis have developed multiple severe neurological lesions over a 6‐year period. The possible pathogenesis is discussed. The presence of livedo reticularis has been described in conjunction with many diseases (Rook, Wilkinson & Ebling, 1979). A rare association between this condition and neurological syndromes has also been reported (Sneddon, 1965; Quimby & Perry, 1980). We report two cases which add further support to this association.
