Claude's Syndrome associated with Neurosyphilis: Case Report



The alterations of the midbrain represent a great clinical challenge due to their anatomical location, it confers the passage of multiple tracts between the cerebral cortex and other subcortical structures such as cerebellum, pons and bulb, responsible for sensory-motor and autonomic control, which implies the difficult comprehension of clinical manifestations in the primary medical context, which delays the diagnosis and an adequate therapeutic approach. This article aims to make a clinical anatomical radiological correlation of the dorso-medial syndrome on the midbrain under the context of a patient diagnosed by meningovascular syphilis.
