Overview
The forms of presentation of neurosyphilis can be grouped in two categories: early (asymptomatic which is the most common form, meningeal and meningovascular neurosyphilis and late (progressive general paralysis and tabes dorsalis). Other less important forms are gummas, ocular forms of neurosyphilis and syphilitic amyotrophy or hypoacusis
