Abstract purpose:To report a case of ocular syphilis infection with an unusual presentation of bilateral papilledema as the initial manifestation

Case/Findings:A 35-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of photopsia in his left eye. He had a social history of multiple heterosexual partners. On fundus examination, swelling was noted in the bilateral optic and peripapillary retina. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)did not show outer retinal abnormalities, but showed mild vitritis. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed optic disc leakage, late staining in the affected area in both eyes, and peripheral vascular leakage in the left eye. Serologic test revealed ocular syphilis. He was treated with intravenous injections of benzylpenicillin(18 million units per day)for 14 days. After the completion of the 2-week therapy, his ocular findings resolved quickly. There was no recurrence during the 6 months of follow-up.

Conclusions:This patient presented with a rare bilateral papilledema caused by ocular syphilis as initial manifestation. Therefore, papilledema should be considered as the initial manifestation of ocular syphilis.
