Abstract

Ocular syphilis and neurosyphilis are infrequently reported in immunocompetent patients. Generally, these conditions are seen in HIV positive individuals and commonly present with uveitis. Here, we describe a 40-year-old immunocompetent female who presented with ocular symptoms, found to have papilledema and was diagnosed with neurosyphilis.
