Abstract Purpose:We report a case of acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis(ASPPC), which showed improvement in the outer retinal layers before treatment and followed a favorable course.

Case:A 55-year-old male presented with blurred vision in the right eye. Best corrected visual acuity of the right eye was 20/100. The right eye showed yellow-white lesions around the macula and mild redness of the optic nerve. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed loss of the outer retinal layer. Rapid plasma reagin and Treponema pallidum hemagglutionation assay were positive. He was clinically diagnosed with ASPPC by syphilis infection. Before the start of treatment, the subjective symptoms resolved spontaneously and the best corrected visual acuity of the right eye improved to 20/40. The outer retinal layers could be observed by OCT. The patient was treated with benzylpenicillin(24 million units/day for 14 days). The visual acuity was improved to 20/20, and the outer retinal layer normalized.

Conclusion:This case responded to the treatment. And the finding of outer retinal layer in OCT resolved spontaneously before the treatment. The abnormalities in outer retinal layer should be considered as a possibility for ASPPC. We hope this case report will be helpful for considering a different diagnosis.
