Abstract
Purpose: Visual loss and optic nerve head (ONH) edema are hallmarks in diagnosing optic neuritis, perineuritis, neuroretinitis and papillitis, but clinicians often disregard the role that intracranial hypertension could play in neurosyphilis. Methods: A case of syphilitic optic neuropathy with visual loss and bilateral ONH edema was presented, where the detailed diagnosis procedure of chronic intracranial hypertension and its treatment were described.
