Overview
MRI scan is not diagnostic of syphilis. However, non-specific MRI findings may demonstrate complications of syphilis including neurological, gastrointestinal, and bone findings.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
MRI
MRI scan is not diagnostic of syphilis. However, non-specific MRI findings may demonstrate complications of syphilis including neurological, gastrointestinal, and bone findings:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Neurosyphilis
MRI may help diagnose complications of syphilis such as neurosyphilis. High intensity T2 MRI brain and spinal cord may indicate the following findings:[1][2][3][4][9]
- Non specific white matter lesions (cerebral gummas or arteritis)[2]
- Hyperintensity in mesiotemporal lobes[4][5]
- Cortical atrophy (general paresis)[1]
- Cerebral infarction
- Hippocampal atrophy (mimicking alzheimer's disease)[3]
- Hyperintensities in multiple cortical areas and thalami [7]
- Intramedullary hyperintensity and spinal cord atrophy[12]
Bone
Skull
- T2W lesions in the skull showing hyperintensity[10]
Rectal
- T2W MRI images showing hyperintense thickening of rectal wall (mimicking rectal cancer)[11]
