Iskæmisk apopleksi forårsaget af syfilis

Stefan Cobanovic, Daniel Kondziella, Lasse Wille, Steven Haugbøl

Abstract

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochaete Treponema pallidum. Patients with untreated syphilis can develop meningovascular syphilis at any stage of the disease. This is a case report of a 44-year-old man displaying two instances of acute vertigo and lateralized paraesthesia. MRI showed infarctions in the left thalamus and capsula interna. Subsequent investigations including cerebral spinal fluid analysis revealed a diagnosis of neurosyphilis. The patient was treated intravenously with benzylpenicillin and ceftriaxone with complete clinical remission.
