In ophthalmologic evaluation, as well as examinations of color retinography and ocular fundus autofluorescence, important pigmentary alterations were observed following vascular arches with pigment mobilization in osteoclasts (aspect of a unilateral pigmentary retinitis secondary to the inflammatory process). Which suggested inflammatory process sequelae. Through the laboratory tests, he had positive (+) confirmation for SYPHILIS NEURORETINOPATHY .

44-year-old white female seen over the weekend complaining of a "spot" in her vision centrally OD for three days. She was referred over by another eye doctor who was concerned about a possible retinal detachment vs ARN in that eye. Her past medical history includes adrenal insufficiency for which she takes a low dose of hydrocortisone, thyroxine (post thyroidectomy), Plaquenil (inflammatory arthritis). She is divorced with one partner and denies any IVDU. Va 20/200 OD and 20/20 OS, IOP 12 OU, Pupils mydriatic post gtts (light desaturation OD). There was 1+ A/C cell OD, O/W unremarkable anterior segment OU; in the posterior segment OD there was 1+ vitritis with a diffusely swollen optic disc and a large yellowish placoid lesion in the macula with yellowish border and extended out past the arcades inferiorly, as well as another lesion smaller in the IN periphery. There was trace vitreous cell OS, mild disc edema, and a large, granular placoid area nasally that appeared to be granulated. The OCT showed mild subfoveal fluid with nodular areas in the RPE and some overlying irregular architecture of the outer retina. Syphilis was a concern at this point. She denied any hand or foot rash, and said that she was recently working on the house, and her hands were dried out. There did appear to be a rash on the hand (See Image), and later learned that she had a rash on the soles of her feet. She was sent to ED for a work-up and her syphilis IgG was positive and VDRL 1:128, and negative for HIV. She was started on a course IV Penicillin (40mg PO steroid two days after tx started). She has responded well. A few days after treatment her visual acuity has improved to 20/60 OD; there was no anterior segment inflammation OU, and decreased vitreous cell OU. Disc edema was improved. The large placoid lesion in the macula of the right eye was slightly enlarged, but more granular in appearance without a distinct yellowish border, and the smaller lesions SN had dissipated. OCT showed resolution of the subfoveal fluid and an improved appearance of the outer retina and RPE layer.
