The case of a patient with early diagnosed neurosyphilis (general pare sis) is presented. Modern neuroimaging techniques such as single photo n emission computed tomography (SPECT) may give clues to the treatment outcome as early as 1 month after antibiotic treatment. Improvement o f cognitive functions was accompanied by normalization of the initiall y altered P300-topography.
