Meningovascular Neurosyphilis in an HIV Patient with Basilar Artery Thrombosis
Received Date: Mar 01, 2024 / Published Date: Mar 29, 2024
Abstract
Meningovascular neurosyphilis, a rare complication of tertiary syphilis, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management, particularly in individuals co-infected with HIV. We present a case of a patient with HIV who developed basilar artery thrombosis secondary to meningovascular neurosyphilis. Through this case, we highlight the importance of considering neurosyphilis in the differential diagnosis of stroke in HIV-infected patients and underscore the necessity of timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment to prevent devastating neurological outcomes.
