Color fundus photograph (A) 45 Y/O female with serpiginoid lesion extending from the juxtapapillary area. Intermediate-phase fluorescein angiogram photographs (B) of the same eyes delineating the typical hyperfluorescent margins of the serpiginoid lesions. Fundus autofluorescence image (C) of the same eye, disclosing predominantly hyperautofluorescent lesion with stippled hypoautofluorescence delimited by a thin rim of hypoautofluorescence. DEVICE: Multimodal imaging: (A) Color fundus photograph (Zeiss), (B) FA (Heidelberg), (C) Fundus autofluorescence (Heidelberg).

A. Fundus photograph showing vast round placoid yellow zone in the posterior pole;
B. FA reveals hyperfluorescence of the optic disk with a zone of hyperfluorescence in the posterior pole (tissue staining).
C. Structural OCT shows disruption of the ellipsoid zone and hyperreflective, nodular thickening of the RPE. Hyperreflective dots representing inflammatory cells are visible in the vitreous and attached to the posterior hyaloid.

A case of 49 y.o. man, caucasian, with no history of drugs and systemic disease, referred to our emergency room due to a sudden para central scotoma in his left eye. Our multimodal imaging allowed us to diagnose a syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis, confirmed few days later with serological exams (qualitative TPHA +).

Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) is a rare disease which may resemble many other retinal diseases.Multimodal imaging is important for diseases characterization, and new techniques may aid us in the understanding of their etiopathogenesis.
Accurate patient’s medical patient history is fundamental to spot the correct diagnosis as soon as possible with the purpose to avoid ocular complications and complications linked to syphilis progression.
