Abstract

Syphilis is a sexually-transmitted disease caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. Central nervous system involvement can occur in every stage of the disease. It is classified into: acute syphilitic meningitis, meningovascular syphilis, and parenchymatous neurosyphilis. Acute basilar syphilitic meningitis is characterized primarily by the presence of cranial nerve involvement. As cranial nerve enhancement may be seen in a broad range of diseases, it can be the only clinical feature of neurosyphilis.

Özet

Sifiliz, bir spiroket olan Treponema pallidum tarafından oluşan cinsel yolla bulaşan bir hastalıktır. Hastalıkta merkezi sinir sistemi tutulumu her dönemde gözlenebilir. Hastalık en sık akut sifilitik menenjit, meningovasküler sifiliz ve parankimal nörosifiliz olarak karşımıza çıkar. Akut baziller sifilitik menenjit primer olarak kafa çifti tutulumu ile kendini gösterir. Çoklu kafa çiftleri mevcudiyeti merkezi sinir sistemi tutulumu yapan pek çok hastalıkta görülebilmekle birlikte nörosifilizin de tek klinik bulgusu olabilir.
