ABSTRACT
Diverse manifestations of ocular syphilis may involve any structure in the eye, at any stage of the disease. Posterior uveitis in the form of posterior placoid chorioretinitis has been described in secondary- and tertiary-acquired syphilis. In this case report, we present a 47-year-old man with late latent syphilitic infection and fundoscopic, as well as angiographic findings consistent with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis. To our knowledge this form of patchy multifocal choroiditis has never been described in the latent stage of the disease.
