[Soft palate perforation during endemic syphilis, a case study].

The authors report a case of soft palate perforation during endemic syphilis. The diagnosis of endemic syphilis was based on the absence of factor in favor of venereal syphilis, highly positive results suggesting VDRL/TPHA association, histology of velar perforation banks and the satisfactory response with closure of the perforation velar after 4 weeks of treatment with Benzathine benzylpenicillin.
