Ocular involvement of syphilis may occur in any stage of infection. We report a case of bilateral syphilitic chorioretinitis, in an immunocompetent patient, as the presenting feature of a tertiary syphilis we performed a multimodal characterization through Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF), Fluorescein Angiography (FA) and Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).
