Description: Syphilis is the result of an infection by Trepomena Pallidum, a spirochaete. The organism is usually sensitive to Penicillin and its late manifestations are now rare. The radiologically visible complications are related to local bone reactions and bone destruction (gumma) or due to the neuropathic changes from the nervous system involvement.
