Abstract Purpose:Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis(ASPPC)is a rare manifestation of syphilitic uveitis which appears in stage 2 syphilis or later. We report clinical and image findings of a case of ASPPC, which first showed mild posterior manifestation with abnormal photoreceptor outer segment in optical coherence tomography(OCT), and later was diagnosed as syphilis.

Case:A 42-year-old man was referred to our hospital who was suspected to have optic neuritis because of decreased vision of his right eye for 1 week. His corrected visual acuity was 0.2, his retina showed yellowish changes of macula and OCT showed unclear photoreceptor outer segments. Inflammation in anterior chamber and vitreous was not obvious and optic disc was normal. His right eye showed central scotoma and central flicker was decreased. Serological examination revealed infection of syphilis and ASPPC was confirmed. His retinal abnormality was spontenously recovered before the treatment of syphilis. Lumbar puncture made diagnosis of neuronal syphilis and benzylpenicillin was injected into him. Three months later, retinal abnormality recurred and additional antibiotics was injected, which caused complete disappearance of retinal abnormality.

Conclusion:Retinal lesion with photoreceptor outer segment abnormalities can be caused by syphilitic infection. Systemic evaluation and early treatment are needed in such a case.
