Abstract

Syphilis has plagued humanity for thousands of years. Despite the measures of precaution against its transmission and the advancement of modern pharmacology, late-stage phenomena like intracerebral gumma are not uncommon even today. We present a complex case, which has misled the physicians twice. Additionally, we performed a review of the contemporary literature about the common location, clinical findings and up-to-date treatment of intracerebral gummas.
