Syphilitic chorioretinitis presenting as a choroidal granuloma.
2020
A rare case of syphilitic uveitis presenting as a choroidal granuloma is described in this case report. The clinical picture resembled that of a tubercular choroidal granuloma. However, the patient was positive for treponemal (treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) as well as non-treponemal tests (venereal disease research laboratory test) for syphilis. Therefore, the patient was treated for ocular syphilis and responded to antisyphilitic therapy. There was a complete resolution of the lesion at the end of 14 days of treatment.
