Abstract：
:A 34-year-old man had a six-month history of bilateral visual loss that was secondary to cystoid macular edema, which was assumed to be secondary to neurosyphilis on the basis of cerebrospinal fluid serology, cell count, and protein. Good visual acuity was recovered with systemic corticosteroids only after they were used in combination with antitreponemal therapy. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of cystoid macular edema as the primary sign of neurosyphilis documented by fluorescein angiography.
