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]

Bone

  • Small tibial and fibular nodular hyperintense lesions[13]

Skull

  • T2W lesions in the skull showing hyperintensity[10]

Rectal

  • T2W images showing hyperintense thickening of rectal wall(mimicking rectal cancer)[11]
