Résumé
Case report: A 57-year-old immunocompetent woman was diagnosed with syphilitic bilateral panuveitis after the onset of dramatic bilateral visual loss with inflammation of the anterior segment of the eye, severe vitritis and chorioretinitis which improved after treatment. Discussion: Syphilis is a complex disease of increasing prevalence. If diagnosis is delayed ocular syphilis can produce severe visual loss due to neuritis, chorioretinitis with panuveitis, affecting both eyes in 50% of cases. Nevertheless, syphilis is considered one of the few causes of uveitis in which a cure can be obtained with proper treatment.
