  • Headaches are a common but often non-specific symptom in clinical practice.

Observation:

  • Two cases of secondary syphilis presenting with significant headaches are described.
  • Patients' headaches were a primary symptom leading to their medical evaluation.

Findings:

  • Headache can be a prominent neurological symptom of secondary syphilis.
  • Diagnostic evaluation for secondary syphilis should be considered in patients with unexplained headaches.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should include secondary syphilis in the differential diagnosis for patients with headaches.
