Meningovascular Syphilis

Forty patients (34 males and 6 females) with neurological complaints/manifestations and with a past history of multiple sexual partners attending the Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai, India between April 1992 and October 1992 were investigated for neurosyphilis. Metabolic disorders, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, arrhythmias and trauma were excluded. Seven males (17.5%) were found to have neurosyphilis. The youngest was 26 years old and the oldest was 47. All were married and of low socioeconomic background. Meningovascular syphilis was the predominant presentation (6:1). Associated cardiovascular involvement was noticed in one of the cases. There was no associated HIV infection in these cases. The incidence is higher than previous reports from this centre.

Meningovascular Syphilis

Neurosyphilis has become an uncommon diagnosis in the current era. Neurological manifestations of syphilis usually lie within the spectrum of meningovascular syphilis, tabes dorsalis or general paresis of the insane. Although sensory ataxia may occur as part of spinal cord involvement, cerebellar ataxia has been rarely described as a manifestation of neurosyphilis. In this report, we describe a rare case neurosyphilis presenting in the form of a pure pancerebellar syndrome of subacute progression.
