Neurosyphilis with unique neuroimaging findings (P1.308)

Conclusions:Neuroimaging findings of neurosyphilis commonly are cerebral infarctions, leptomeningeal enhancement or nonspecific white matter lesions. Less common features on a fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences are cortical atrophy and mesial temporal parenchymal signal changes. It is prudent to keep Neurosyphilis in differential of mesial temporal lobe white matter changes as early diagnosis and treatment results in better prognosis.Study Supported by: NoneDisclosure: Dr. Tiwana has nothing to disclose.
