Abstract
Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis is a rare ocular manifestation of syphilis. All patients with characteristic clinical and angiographic ï¬ndings of acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis should be tested for a neurosyphilis and human immunodeï¬ciency virus co-infection. Early treatment with intravenous penicillin is usually effective with good visual results.
