摘要
Neurosyphilis, a chronic infection of the nervous system by Treponema pallidum can present in all stages of syphilis. Recently, it is found that neurosyphilis presents with novel manifestations. Here, we report a young patient who had neurosyphilis presenting as Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) with bilateral optic atrophy. The patient showed improvement with treatment for neurosyphilis. Hence, it is evident that in young patients presenting with NPH and associated features, secondary etiologies should be investigated.
