Purpose:
To report a case of a good visual outcome in a patient with bilateral multifocal syphilitic chorioretinitis, despite the late diagnosis.
Methods:
Ophthalmologic examination, multimodal imaging, including fundus photography, angiography, and optical coherence tomography.
Results:
The authors describe a 47-year-old heterosexual man with a bilateral multifocal syphilitic chorioretinitis that was lately diagnosed and despite that had a good visual outcome.
Conclusion:
The diagnosis of ocular syphilis is a challenge; however, once it has been made, even lately, it is eminently treatable.
