Abstract

: A patient with subacute aphasia and hemiparesis was found to have a low density white matter lesion with mass effect on the computed tomographic (CT) scan. Serological examination and biopsy established the diagnosis of paretic neurosyphilis. This CT appearance has not previously been described in cases of neurosyphilis. Neurosyphilis should be considered as a potentially treatable cause of a cerebral mass lesion. (Neurosurgery 14:234-237, 1984)
