Neurosyphilis as an Imitator of Autoimmune Optic Neuropathy: A case report
View through CrossRef
Steroid-dependent optic neuropathies generally have an immune-mediated origin, with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) remain the most common aetiologies, among other systemic inflammatory disorders. Here, we present a rare case of a young male with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and neurosyphilis presenting with steroid-dependent optic neuropathy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of such a presentation.
