Locked-in Syndrome Due to Meningovascular Syphilis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Intern Med. 2021 Oct 19. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8269-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report a 46-year-old man presenting with locked-in syndrome secondary to meningovascular syphilis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple acute infarctions in the left ventromedial pons, right basis pontis, and left basal ganglia. His locked-in syndrome was hypothesized to have been caused by thrombosis of the small paramedian branches of the basilar artery due to syphilitic arteritis. This is a unique case of bilateral ventromedial pontine infarction caused by meningovascular syphilis that presente...

In the context of its worldwide recrudescence, syphilis must be evoked in front of an unexplained neurological disorder.PMID:34863597 | DOI:10.1016/j.revmed.2021.11.001

Neurosyphilis with positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody: a case report
A case of neurosyphilis with a positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody was reported. A 54-year-old man who presented with acute memory deficits was admitted to our hospital. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was initially considered, and he was prescribed intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA). However, the intermittent onset of episodic memory and orientation disorder still occurred. No diffusion restriction was indicated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and subclinical seizures were frequently found by electroencephalogram (EEG). Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) te...
