INTRODUCTION: Whereas syphilis is a classical cause of uveitis, it is still often under-recognized. Treatment recommendations are not based on specific clinical studies. CASE REPORTS: We report two patients with syphilitic uveitis diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital of Angers. Ocular involvement was inaugural in both patients. Each had a specific treatment but none had a complete recovery of visual function. CONCLUSION: Syphilis must be discussed in all patients diagnosed with uveitis or papillitis. Although not evidence-based, prompt therapy may lead to functional recovery.

Se realizo un estudio comparativo de la tension intra-ocular por aplanacion con y sin fluoresceina en 265 ojos, encontrandose un aumento considerable de las cifras obtenidos con fluoresceina, estimandose en un 91,70% de los casos, un 75% reporto valores similares y solo un 0,75% reporto valores mas altos sin fluoresceina
