title: The evolution of untreated acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis captured by multimodal retinal imaging.
abstract: Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) is a rare manifestation of syphilis. Most cases respond to systemic treatment of the underlying Treponema pallidum infection. The authors illustrate the natural progression of untreated ASPPC with multimodal retinal imaging.
