The incidence of syphilis has increased in the last 2 decades. This case describes a 43-year-old with aortic aneurysm and symptomatic aortic regurgitation initially suspected to be congenital and later confirmed as syphilitic in etiology, illustrating a growing need to consider tertiary syphilis as a cause of aortopathy.
梅毒的发病率在过去20年中有所上升。本病例描述了一名43岁患有主动脉瘤和有症状主动脉瓣关闭不全的患者，最初怀疑为先天性，后来病因确诊为梅毒，这表明越来越需要考虑三期梅毒作为主动脉病变的一个病因。
