Abstract
SYNOPSISThe syndrome of greater occipital neuralgia (GON) is a cause of chronic unilateral or bilateral headaches. It occurs when the greater occipital nerve is compressed, irritated or inflamed. We describe a case of neurosyphilis in which GON was the presenting manifestation. We discuss this previously unreported early presenting feature of neurosyphilis and its implication.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
