We describe a 40 year-old man with optic perineuritis due to secondary syphilis. This condition which is due to inflammation of the optic nerve sheath is often mistaken for papilloedema or papillitis. We discuss its diagnosis and stress the importance of recognising it because it is easily treated by a course of Penicillin.
我们描述了一名40岁因二期梅毒引发视神经周围炎的男性患者。这种因视神经鞘炎症导致的病症常被误诊为视乳头水肿或视乳头炎。我们讨论了其诊断方法,并强调了认识该病症的重要性,因为通过一个疗程的青霉素治疗很容易治愈。
