RESUMEN
CASO CLÍNICO Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 45 años sin antecedentes de interés y con una pérdida súbita de visión en su ojo izquierdo secundaria a una uveítis posterior bilateral. Tras despistaje, se diagnosticó de coriorretinitis placoide posterior aguda sifilítica, y recibió tratamiento con penicilina intravenosa.

Discusión:

Existen múltiples manifestaciones oculares de la sífilis que pueden simular cuadros y etiologías muy diversas. El tratamiento anti-treponémico normalmente produce una rápida y positiva respuesta en pacientes afectos. El diagnóstico precoz y certero de estos pacientes es por tanto crucial aunque, en ocasiones, los daños anatómicos y funcionales son irreversibles
ABSTRACT
CLINICAL CASE We report the case of a 45-year-old woman, with unremarkable past medical history, who presented with acute visual loss in her left eye due to bilateral posterior uveitis. After the screening, she was diagnosed with acute syphilitic placoid chorioretinitis and was treated with intravenous penicillin.

DISCUSSION:

Clinical manifestations of ocular syphilis are extremely heterogeneous and may mimic several aetiologies. Anti-treponema treatment usually induces a quick and positive response in affected patients. Prompt and proper diagnosis of these patients is crucial, although anatomical and functional damage may persist
