    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Syphilis, a complex infectious disease, can manifest with diverse ocular complications.
    • Luetic ocular manifestations, including optic nerve involvement, require vigilant diagnostic consideration despite their declining prevalence.

    Observation:

    • A rare clinical case of luetic papilledema is presented.
    • The case underscores the potential for minimal accompanying neurologic symptoms in luetic papilledema.

    Findings:

    • Luetic papilledema represents an exceptionally uncommon presentation of ocular syphilis.
    • The diagnostic challenge lies in recognizing this entity, particularly when neurologic signs are not pronounced.

    Implications:

  • Ophthalmologists and neurologists should consider syphilis in the differential diagnosis of optic nerve disorders.
  • Increased awareness of rare luetic presentations can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
