To present ocular syphilis masquerading as an outer retinopathy.
Retrospective case series, including 2 patients with features of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) complex diseases.
Laboratory results confirmed the diagnosis of syphilis in the 2 cases. Therapy with intravenous penicillin led to an improvement in symptoms, visual acuity, and ancillary testing.
The protean ophthalmic presentations of syphilis are well known. However, AZOOR-like presentation has not been described previously. This atypical outer retinopathy should alert physicians to keep syphilis in the differential diagnosis of any inflammatory disorder.
表现为外层视网膜病变的眼部梅毒。
回顾性病例系列,包括 2 例具有急性区域性隐匿性外层视网膜病变(AZOOR)复杂疾病特征的患者。
实验室结果证实了这 2 例梅毒的诊断。静脉注射青霉素治疗导致症状、视力和辅助检查均有所改善。
梅毒的眼部表现多种多样,这是众所周知的。然而,以前没有描述过类似 AZOOR 的表现。这种非典型的外层视网膜病变应该提醒医生,在任何炎症性疾病的鉴别诊断中都要考虑梅毒。
