title: [Progressive paralysis: prognostic indications by modern imaging procedures. A case report].
abstract: The case of a patient with early diagnosed neurosyphilis (general paresis) is presented. Modern neuroimaging techniques such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may give clues to the treatment outcome as early as 1 month after antibiotic treatment. Improvement of cognitive functions was accompanied by normalization of the initially altered P300-topography.
