ABSTRACT
We describe a 40 year-old man with optic perineuritis due to secondary syphilis. This condition which is due to inflammation of the optic nerve sheath is often mistaken for papilloedema or papillitis. We discuss its diagnosis and stress the importance of recognising it because it is easily treated by a course of Penicillin.
