ABSTRACT
Congenital syphilis is preventable and curable if maternal infection is detected early, and pregnant women in Korea are screened routinely for this disease. Nevertheless, the incidence of congenital syphilis is not decreasing. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital syphilis is difficult and treatment is usually based on maternal syphilis serology. Prenatal ultrasonographic examination may sometimes reveal abnormal features suggesting congenital infection. The authors report a case of congenital syphilis that was diagnosed in both fetus and asymptomatic mother following detection on prenatal ultrasonography of transient fetal pleural effusion. The case is noteworthy for its sonographic presentation as fetal pleural effusion rapidly resolved spontaneously.
