Traditional Neurosyphilis in 21st Century - Tabes Dorsalis, Dementia Paralytica, Aseptic Meningitis and Unilateral Oculomotor Nerve Palsy in an HIV-Negative Man.

Syphilis is potentially a multisystem chronic infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Late symptomatic neurosyphilis has been less reported in developed countries, most often seen in untreated patients or in patients with HIV coinfection. We present a case of complicated neurosyphilis with widespread neurological involvement (dementia paralytica, tabes dorsalis, leptomeningitis and left oculomotor nerve involvement) presenting in the 21st century in an urban area of a well-developed European country in an HIV-negative patient.
