Article Synopsis
- Neurosyphilis (NS) is a rare but serious infection of the central nervous system caused by syphilis, with manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to severe neurological issues like syphilitic meningitis or strokes.
- A case study reports a patient who suffered an ischemic stroke linked to NS, despite normal initial imaging; the diagnosis was confirmed through cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and treatment was started with ceftriaxone.
- The case emphasizes the need for early detection and treatment of NS, especially in stroke patients, to prevent further complications and recurrence of strokes.
The artery of Percheron (AOP) is an abnormal variant of the arterial supply of the thalamus. Stroke caused by AOP occlusion is seldom reported. AOP leads to bilateral thalamic and rostral midbrain infarct presenting with unspecific manifestations.
