  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We diagnosed two males, aged 21 and 28 years, as acute syphilitic neuroretinochoroiditis. The condi-tion was unilateral in one and bilateral in the other. Both cases were initially diagnosed as optic papil-litis but failed to respond to the systemic corticos-teroid therapy. Syphilitic nature of the lesion was confirmed after positive serological tests. Treat-ment with systemic antibiotics and corticosteroid led to prompt resolution of the lesion and to improvement in vision. Syphilis may serve as the causative factor in uveitis and optic neuritis of unknown origin.
