Article Synopsis
- Studies show endovascular treatment (EVT) is effective for adult strokes, but its use in children is still debated due to a lack of clear guidelines.
- A case report details a 9-year-old boy who developed sudden left-sided weakness after being admitted for gastroenteritis, later diagnosed with acute ischemia in the cerebellum caused by a basilar artery thrombus.
- The patient received EVT 8.5 hours after symptom onset, leading to successful recovery and rehabilitation, with complete neurological restoration after six months, even though the stroke's cause remained unclear.
BACKGROUND Neurosyphilis is a central nervous system infection caused by Treponema pallidum, that can develop at any time after the initial infection. The clinical signs of neurosyphilis are very variable, as well as its radiological features, and it is a diagnostic challenge. Knowledge of clinical symptoms and correct laboratory diagnostics, combined with routine radiological examination and additional diagnostic tools, such as high-resolution, three-dimensional FLAIR sequence, T2-weighted, and T1-weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are key to making an accurate diagnosis of neurosyphilis.
