Abstract :

A 23–year–old male patient presented with history of weakness of both lower limbs along with sense of imbalance and difficulty in walking. He had a past history of primary syphilis 3 months before. Patient was investigated for paraparesis and possibility of neurosyphilis was considered and diagnosis was confirmed by positive serology for syphilis in cereospinal fluid and diagnosed as Tabes dorsalis. In current era of antibiotics, a case of neurosyphilis as early manifestation is very rare but if it occurs it has very florid manifestations such as tabes dorsalis, general paresis of insane, meningeal syphilis and meningovascular syphilis.
