The value of computed tomography in cerebral syphilis
Neuroradiology
|October 31, 1979
Abstract:
The computed tomographic findings of three patients with cerebral syphilis, including cerebral gumma, which regressed completely under penicillin therapy, syphilitic angiitis with cerbral infarction, and syphilitic cerebral atrophy, are reported. CT is unable to provide specific diagnostic data for these conditions. The etiology can be clarified only by taking into consideration the clinical findings and course, the serological results, and the result of therapy.
