| Description |
Syphilitic optic neuritis typically presents with acute visual loss associated with swelling of the optic disc. However, the myriad presentations of this condition is recognized and the term 'great imitator' should always be remembered. We present 2 cases of syphilitic optic neuritis, one mimicking giant cell arteritis, and the other ischaemic optic neuropathy. These cases may highlight the vasculitic nature of this condition. |
