Syphilitic Stroke treatment in Querétaro

When an untreated syphilis infection affects the brain's blood vessels, it can trigger a syphilitic stroke, that is, an interruption of cerebral blood flow related to that disease.

It is a complication of syphilis in advanced stages, in which inflammation of the arteries hinders the normal passage of blood to the brain and damages their walls.

Possible symptoms: Weakness or loss of sensation on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, persistent headache, or changes in behavior, which usually appear abruptly.

Which professional to turn to? The neurosurgeon and the vascular surgeon intervene depending on the case, given the involvement of the brain's blood vessels. With a sudden neurological symptom, seeking emergency care is the priority; follow-up with the specialist will come once the condition is stabilized.
